SunSketching in TX

October 16, 2023

In mid-October the SunSketcher team took their long-awaited roadtrip to Odessa, TX for the 2023 annular eclipse! Graciously hosted by the University of Texas Permian Basin, and with the help of UTPB volunteers, the SunSketchers conducted the first field test of the pre-release app. It was a total success! Thank you UTPB!! ❤
