I'm heading out to Joshua Tree National Park on Friday, August 10th, with my son (13 yrs old) to hike, bike, and at night... watch the Perseid meteor shower and look through my new telescope (Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will all be visible)! If you live in the area and want to meet up for the stargazing message me and I'll send directions of where we will set up (on a dirt road, but you don't need 4x4 to drive it). I usually do an "open invite" on facebook to my friends and a few show up, and I'd love it if any other fellow heathens on here show up, too!

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
