Ever attend any of the Adler After Dark events? I've had a great time at those every time I've gone. Naperville Astronomy Club has some open to public viewing nights. Check those out if you haven't already. We have some really nice equipment there. Looking at other Galaxies, one stealing the gas off the other is so surreal. Kinda hard to believe it's not fake, it's not! Also have Solar Viewing at Naperville's Riverwalk on select Saturdays too.
That sounds nice.
They're all fun. Which one intrigues you the most?

When the event calander for May comes out I'll send along the public viewing nights (usually Saturday nights) @Emme
@mratheistshirt
Thank you, I appreciate that.?
I used to work at Adler Planetarium. It would be fun to get a group from here together and go!
How about 21st of June the 1st day of summer?
Cool that you worked there. Doing what?
June's After Dark may come up on us too fast. Must buy tickets in May before they sell out. I'll already be at June's AfterDark. Maybe trying for the group outing we should allow more time? September's (20th) After Dark better?
C'mon out to June's as well, if you can (everyone) & bring friends it's a delightful evening. Sometimes so delightful it turns into a late night of laughter, food, drinks & song. Somewhere in town. Ive learned to take Friday off in advance.

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

Posted by starwatcher-al Did you know that you can see Venus in the daytime?
