The Clear Sky Clock indicates nice skies tonight and clearing is already happening here in Stansbury so I pulled out the solar scope. A nice smattering of small sunspots in white light and some very impressive prominences in HA. Looks kind of like a forrest growing on the Sun's NW limb. Fingers cross for tonight... patrick
Looking good so far tonight. Nice waxing crescent moon (soon to be first quarter). Looks like we might get a break but then more clouds and rain/snow in the forecast for this week. Sigh. On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:

Tonight is a good example of "live the day". Really has turned out to be a nice night. Now if just one of my images tonight contains a supernova... Just too bad about the forecast. Carpe Noctem! patrick
Good luck and I hope Patrick you find a SN. That would be exciting. On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 10:58 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>wrote:
