    Nice! Too bad you will miss the launch. 🙁

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

    bwyman started the topic The Texas Cities That Lost a Solar Eclipse (TimeAndDate.com) in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 6 months ago

    So, over in my “Astronomical Events 2022?” topic, I had suggested that links to sights with astronomical events be included in the information. As I went back to that tab, and browsed around, logged in, updated my world clock, … I stumbled upon this interesting article:…[Read more]

    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? 🙂

    Perhaps some links to websites that might…[Read more]

    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.

    Who took photos of the group at the eclipse event? I thought I saw two different people snap a photo…[Read more]

    Nice! It even has night sounds. Minus the bright flash of night, and the short duration, it might be as good as the 8 hour streaming video on Amazon Prime. 😛

    That must have landed quite a bit south of us. The video looks very similar to mine, only the tree to my south blocked a bit more of it.

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

    bwyman replied to the topic Forum Migration in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 1 month ago

    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.
