Great moonrise
by Patrick Wiggins 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

There's something about flying through a clear, dark sky that's really special. Flying over the blackness of the West Desert with the cabin lights turned down, one's eyes dark adapted and sitting behind that wrap around windscreen with a view of uncounted hundreds of stars one can almost imagine they're flying through space. Want to track west? No need for fancy navigational devices, just point the plane's nose at Arcturus. Heading west? Then Jupiter's your guide star. Then position yourself just right at the right time and watch as a scarlet Moon rises in the east and reflects off of the Great Salt Lake far below. Really a magical experience. patrck (Now, alas, back on Terra Firma) . Sent from my iPad

The Sun

Several nice sunspot groups in white light. One looks like somebody sneezed on the sun! Not a lot of edge prominences in H-a, however.
