I had scribbles from February 13th meeting. Did a quick try to type up something. Not pretty.

So, I obviously don’t consult the website all that often. Who created that “Astronomical Events” link/tab/menu item? I was hoping to see what I missed this year, what I might yet catch, and what was up for 2024. Apparently, that has not been updated since 2022. Can we get a new one created for 2024? 🙂

Hey Mike, thanks for sharing the eclipse photos. I was only counting 3 groups of sunspots in that first photo. I was about to check my scribbles, but the second photo confirms (and numbers) the five sunspot groupings I thought I eventually noted.

Okay. At least one good thing from taking Roku security camera out of box, doing setup, and putting up with annoying alerts/notifications.

I am not sure if it matters much, but my first attempt gave me a bad link. I used my email address for the first reset. The second attempt with my username went to the same email address and worked.

I was initially just logged into the main page, then had to login again to reply to this post.
