      It’s looking good for Wednesday night. I’m thinking about taking Thursday morning off so I can stay up late and observe.

      Anybody care to join me at Root River Park… or somewhere else?

      PS. I posted this in the old observing thread as well. I thought it was time to start a new observing thread.

        Anybody observing anywhere on Friday? It looks like it’s going to be “Glorious!”

          Duane, were you still going to Root River tonight, Wednesday?  I was thinking of heading out there.

          I don’t know where to go, but would perhaps be interested in Friday as well.

              Root River Park, Milky Way, August 28th 2024

              It was a “Glorious Night for Astronomy”

              Root River Park, Milky Way, August 28th 2024

              10 biases, 20 darks, 17 x 121 second subs. Stretched for balance then heavily processed to reduce skyglow/light pollution, mostly near the horizon. One horizon line was removed and one burned to black on the edge.

                  I’m contemplating coming out tonight. How late do you figure, Joseph?

                    I plan to head out there and I think Duane will be there as well, at least he was planning on coming out a couple of days ago.
