I haven’t viewed anything for several weeks, now. It’s been cloudy every evening in St. George for quite some time. The early morning is no better. If it’s clear enough, tomorrow, I may get some solar viewing in. Hopefully, as it nears new moon the skies may clear, but you know that’s not the usual case.

Some terrific prominences this afternoon, as well as lots of spots and surface detail.
I have to work for half a day Saturday morning so must miss both the sun party and the ATM session- tough choice even if I had the day off!
Hopefully the clouds hold-off tomorrow afternoon and I can get some time in at the PST and maybe even some backyard viewing at night, if I can stay awake. Planetary nebulae don't take much of a hit from moonlight, with narrowband filters. Double stars and clusters usually fare pretty well from the city and under moonlight, as well.
