Liver & Onions

My apologies to everyone for being MIA for the entire winter. It's been a rough year, Kelly's accident was a year ago on March 28th. She never returned to work but continues her recovery at home and with therapy. She's doing much better. I've had the usual rush jobs at work that take me out of anything else for months at a time. But time is loosening up so I want to take advantage of it while I can. I'm thinking about May 11th. There's a SPOC star party that night but the sun party isn't until the weekend after. Please RSVP if you can make it, and if this day won't work for most folks we can come up with an alternate. It will be good to see you all again! Chuck

RIP Tom Trusock
by Chuck Hards 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

It is with great sadness that I let you know of the passing of Tom Trusock. Tom was a well-known astronomy reviewer, writer, & speaker. He was also a co-Administrator with me on Cloudy Nights, and it's longest-serving Administrator, having been broght on-board by Alister before he sold out to Astronomics. Tom left us yesterday. Tom leaves behind a wife and children, and a huge extended family at Cloudy Nights and across the amateur astronomy community nation-wide. RIP Tom.

Two items
by Joe Bauman 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi fellow amateur astronomers, I have two matters to mention: 1, Chuck, some of us are getting mighty hungry for liver & onions. Just sayin'. 2, Here's my latest blog, number 75, about the recently-released first photo of a black hole -- and about my photo of that same black hole's relativistic jet. https://the-nightly-news.com/blog/blog-75-gravity-s-shadow -- Thanks, Joe

Sunspots! (H-alpha)
by John M. Craig 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hi Folks, There's a couple of active sites on the sun at the moment. Not as dramatic as what we've seen in past years when the sun was more active, but worth a look if you have H-alpha gear. I haven't looked with my white-light filter, but I imagine you'd see something that way too. Ciao, John

Help w/ a school star party May 10th (11th is bad weather fallback)
by John M. Craig 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hi Folks, First, thanks to all who've helped with this in prior years! Would love to have some help again this year for a star party at Lakeridge Jr High in Orem on Friday the 10th of May (with the 11th as a fallback date if the weather is poor on 10th but looks better on 11th). If you can come, let me know and I'll give you more details as we get closer to the date. Thanks! John Craig
