M8 (Lagoon Nebula) taken from the Driveway Observatory
by Dave Gary 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Took three photos last night and early this morning: M8, M11 and M27 (not in that order). Mount was a little off on polar alignment. Hope to do better tonight if the weather cooperates. > https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/36201348165/in/dateposted-public/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/36201348165/in/dateposted-public/>

Observing Sites
by Joel Stucki 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Does anyone have any good recommendations for observing sites near Scipio? Preferably something a little to the north. Looking for new observing locations and realizing that dark skies going south on I15 are about as close for me as Pit n Pole really.

I've been scopeless and haven't been on here for several years. Anyone going out this weekend or next? I missed last month's perfect new moon so don't want to miss this month's. Craig

Sun Today_ Man with Telescope on Neighbor's lawn
by Sue Ellen Ebertz 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Hi Friends, 1. Yup the sun today should be awesome but almost wishing I was on the other side of the earth (last night) because there was a big CME! http://spaceweather.com/ (see pics). But I do have a borrowed solar scope now while I wait for my PST. 2. Whaaa? If it's North Bend, WA, it's a wild area anyway. The key is, he left it on his neighbor's lawn.....and it was the neighbor's fault???? I sense a missing story:) Clear Skies, Shoshana Your NOVA Editor

Good day to view sun in H-a or WL
by John M. Craig 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Hi Folks, If you've got the gear and a break in the clouds, it's definitely worth a look today. I haven't checked out the sun in white light, but I bet that's good too. I can see the big sunspot (AR 12665, I think) w/o magnification. I've gotta get a look at it in white light before it's too low to see any detail. A friend from work shot a really nice photo in WL a couple of days ago; very impressive then, no doubt still is. John

last minute camping in Wyoming
by Josephine Grahn 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

This is a nice spot for camping, inside the area of totality, in case you have friends or relatives who just realized that they wanted to go. I doubt there is much shade, but good horizons, and a bit of entertainment is available https://www.facebook.com/jimmossarena/ <https://www.facebook.com/jimmossarena/>
