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? 🙂

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.
