Yea but we did see this! Look at this write up on space weather!
GREAT PROMINENCE: Sunspot counts remain very low, but solar activity is not
zero. For the third day in a row, astronomers are monitoring one of the
best solar prominences in years. The plume of hot gas, twisted into complex
shapes by solar magnetic fields, is nearly 10 times taller than Earth and an
easy target for safely-filtered backyard telescopes. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for photos and movies.
Pays to have the right scope, in the right place and the right time!

Dear Fearless Observer,
Don't be intimidated. Rick Tejera, Jimmy Ray, Chris Hanrahan, Andrew
Goodwin and I all got socked out at the Girls Scout encampment at Prescott
over the weekend too. A few sucker holes, but nothing worth singing songs
over.
There's always THIS weekend. I'm planning on a Thursday/Friday night trip .
Don't know where to yet. It all depends on the weather forecast.

Yeah, well, Antennas didn't work out very well.
After arriving around 5:30 having driven through a wild dust storm, the
clouds were building quickly from the NE. They continued to move in up to
and after dark. We got in about 20 minutes observing with the 15x70 binocs
in Sagittarius before the lightening, dust and wind drove us back into the
truck. What a tease.
Then it got bad.
We drove home. Besides me, a friend and my son, there was Tim and Bob,
Charlie Whiting, Steve McAllister, and several others I did not get a chance
to meet. Six or seven vehicles total. We never even got set up. It was
that bad.
Do you think I was bummed? Heck, I'm still bummed.
Dare I ask about Saturday the 4th? I refuse to be intimidated.

It's definitely Antennas for Bob and I.

OK, with all the traffic yesterday, I don't believe I heard confirmation
that the porta-potty was ordered for 5MM. So, does that mean that folks
will be gathering at the Antennas?
I plan on going down to the Antenna site on Saturday night (conflict on
Friday). I'm assuming I won't be alone . . .
