I'll be observing with Ted Hauter from Lake San Antonio - Field of Dreams tonight, staying all night, pack up Wed morning.  Forecast looks good for tonight!

Hi Ted,
We had a great night of observing!  Enjoyed your company and the wonderful views you showed me the following morning of the Sun and it’s Sunspots.  Will do LSA again the next New Moon.

Sounds great Peter!

Maybe can do two nights Aug 21,22 and bring the big solar, although the Quark is dialed in!

Anyone know anything about a Titan transit?

Morning of August 19 around midnight. There’s another one later in the month but I forget the date.

Making up for it with super solar day here in three bandwidths!

Why wait until August, when there’s a Titan shadow transit tonight. Starts around midnight.

The link that was shared a few days ago (2025 Titan Shadow Transits.pdf) is no longer working (I see "access denied" and a login, for which I apparently don't have access). Does anyone else have access to the doc?

I thought the transit was tomorrow night, but maybe I was confused by the midnight date change.

Thanks Richard.

BTW - SkyTools Visual has a tool for transits. This is a "shadow transit" and it is indeed tonight, peak is at 2:04AM according to skytools.
