Happy Terrestrial Aphelion Day! Yep, today the earth is about 94.5 million miles from the sun  

High speed winds over in my part of Colorado, USA! I would be out with the telescope doing solar observations, but this wind and these flying branches might threaten my telescope!  

I spent a while outside watching for planes to transit the moon today; I saw no transits, but I had three close fly-bys. Maybe tomorrow!

Merry Christmas, everyone! best of wishes to all my stargazing buddies in the States, across the pond, and all over the world. 

  I'm having a pity party over here.  

Yay for Monday! Tonight is my astronomy night and one of the rare occasions when good weather and a clear schedule nicely align. Saw a beautiful shooting star and a bright Iridium flare, along with many other nice specimens.

Saw a great ISS solar transit! this makes my second one, and the third if you count lunar transits. I never get tired of these! Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture:I don't have the right tools.
