Hi friends,I finally was able to go out and observe even though the seeing is pretty bad in H-alpha,CalK was fine.It is very hazy and humid with a silver sky.
I had a ball at the Greenbank Starquest in West Virginia and I procured a Small Solar radio telescope for barlow Bob to use thanks to Sue Anne at Greenbank NRAO.I will include a photo tomorrow when the barlow man comes to get it tomorrow (350 miles).Sue Anne even met Buster ther Boxer at the Starparty.

Glad to see you're up and running, Ralph. Don't know what the seeing is like here--we've got a 10/10 overcast.

Good to have you back, Ralph! Barlow Bob sent me some info on his new toy you've brought back for him. Very cool! Can't wait to hear how it goes for solar outreach with that on hand.
