Sadly, the seeing in my neck of the woods (NorCal) has been atrocious for weeks, with no change in sight! With nearly 3 million acres having burned in the state, our daytime skies are darkened, our viewing of the heavens obstructed and our lives are continuously showered in a layer of ash. We are approaching 4 straight weeks of 'spare the air' restrictions here.
@p-nullifidian Here in Az. we go from ok skies to a smoky haze that obscures the nearby mountains. Today the skies are blue but if the wind shifts it could be smoky by tonight. The only way the SW will get out of this is massive amounts of rain.
@starwatcher-al Yup ... we're all 'lighting candles' around here, hoping for a good Pacific storm! Your monsoon season will soon be over, and the glory of the desert skies on full display. I love Orion!
@p-nullifidian What monsoon season? this has been the nonsoon season. Some people have gotten some rain but the larger storms have never materialized. I have 1 inch of moisture for the summer. And about 5 inches for the year. That will beat my least year of 8 inches if this crap continues.

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
