Last night we had 30-40 people or so, but they were all very attentive. I had a solid line of ten people for about an hour and a half. It was really nice having a group that wanted to learn and see as many objects as possible. John would've been proud.

They all seemed to enjoy the darker objects. The dumbbell and veil nebulae were the favorites, I'd say. 

It was nice seeing everyone again. 
We have a private club event tonight (Saturday) at Lemon, if anyone wants to come.

Jeff, I'm so glad that you and Emilio (and Charles) are continuing John's tradition.

Glad it worked out at Chimney Rock.  In the mean time I was way behind schedule testing and packing and getting out of here.  (Made it as far as Eaton tonight.)  Here is a practice shot.

Where are you heading for the eclipse, Charlie? We are in Guernsey State Park, WY.

Camp Guernsey with some Colorado Space Grant groups launching high altitude balloons. We won’t know specifics until we get there and register.

Lewis,

I plan on watching the eclipse at Glendo State Park, WY; just a little north of you.

Hello everyone, just got back late last night form Douglas WY.  I am attaching 2 pictures I took from my camera.  The eclipse was mind-blowing!  I hope we all get together again soon.  Thanks.

I’d show you my picture from the Durango science center but it is not quite the same.

Yeah, no comparison to totality, but what a great turnout of enthusiastic folks at the Powerhouse!

And if you haven't already seen it, here's one guy's description of his first totality experience…

We just got back to Durango.  (Expected, but WAY too many cars heading with us back to Denver.)  Lots of photos to process and post, but here are some quick ones.

Great photos. Great experience not far up the road at Guernsey State Park. We left this morning (Tuesday) about 8, south on I-25 to Denver. No significant extra traffic.

 

We’re on for 2024 (if not 2019).

Looked for you on the way through. We drove through the park on the way out, because traffic going through Heartville was totally stopped from some accident. Glad we did, as that was a cool lake to drive by.

Pretty place. Fine campground - if you don't mind the coal trains. Sorry we missed you, Charlie.
