Yeah, I have been graphing SR and SS on a notepad for a couple of weeks now. It always feels like a desperate but eventually successful search for happiness, or at least, contentment.

Hope the clouds go away so the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn can be seen tonight. In my AO it will be visible an hour after sunset, low in the western sky.

Wife and I are heading to the river mountain house today to hopefully get a good look of this world historical event tonight. It’s definitely a privilege to see this world historical event that has not been witnessed in over 800 years. Also to witness the single most celestial event in human history.

I’ve not seen stars like that since I was a kid, beautiful!  Is it always that?

Not sure where that photo was taken, but it was not AZ.  However, we see stars like that and the Milky Way often here in northern AZ.  Of course, Sedona is one of 14 "Dark Sky" communities in the world, I believe.... :thumb: :cool:

Like that down here even with streetlights on.
