Skies have been clear while I'm at work, but by the time I'm free in the afternoons this week, the clouds have rolled-in. Hoping for better luck this weekend, next week looks like a washout. I have a new telescope that I need to put through it's paces under the stars. Actually an old telescope, probably about the same age as myself, but still in service. I recently picked up a Goto Kogaku model 106. It's now the big brother to my Goto Kogaku model 105. On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 10:30 AM, Sue Ellen Ebertz <ebertzs@comcast.net> wrote:

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,
