    Looks like a small comet heading into the sun on 8-10.  Check out the SOHO C3 animation on that day. https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/Theater/

    I still plan to go somewhere. Do we need permission to use Root River?

    Not looking so good with the hazy smoky skies. We’re probably going to skip Eagle Bluff tonight. Plus the moon doesn’t set until after 1am. Nice for lunar observing though!

    Eagle Bluff is available this Saturday night and the weather looks good-cooler for at least one day! Dean says he will bring a case of Spring Grove pop. 🙂

    Thank you both! If course, I did not have notifications for this thread turned on so I am just seeing your replies now.

    I booked a rustic cabin on the edge of a field in Utica that I am going to try out this weekend. I’ll see how it goes!
