Found out the site likes JPG better than PNG. I’m going to upload several images. Yosef, feel free to use these, just give me credit along with the RAC. Thanks!

Trying to upload photos. I may have to upload one image at a time. This was from June 8th—A glorious night for astronomy.

Joseph, which ZWO can are you thinking about getting?

I’m saving up for a a rig myself. It’ll be awhile before I take the plunge. Saving is going slower than expected.

We sure did. Totally ruined observations with our scopes, but totally worth it!

Saturday June 8th truly was a great night to look up at the heavens. I bagged a few of the Herschel 400 and took some wonderful images of the sky and the Root River sun and moonset. We even saw a strange effect in the sky at 10:45.

Looking forward to the next clear sky night!

Macastronomer started the topic Anybody wanting to buy an iOptron Mount? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 11 months ago

I know this is a long shot, but if anybody is looking at buying an iOptron mount, or more specifically if 4 other people are looking to buy an iOptron mount, we could get a 10% rebate if we buy them at the same time.

But not the typical kind of storm. This is a solar storm!
4 large incoming solar bursts could supercharge our star party with aurora.

One patch of clouds.
There is one patch of clouds at about midnight that will take about an hour to pass according to predictive weather.

Saturday looks better for seeing and clouds, but with mom’s day I wouldn’t be able to do Saturday.

Will somebody be there to turn off the parking lot lights tonight?
