This year we had some awesome views of the Sun. 2024 is going to be Solar Maximum and things are building up nicely. Saw lots of prominences, fissures and sun spots.

Our intrepid trio

Terry, checking out the Sun. Had the solar scope out during the day for any and all to take a look. Put the 9.25" scope on at night to work on the Herschel 400 and a list of Carbon stars that Jeff found for me.

A look at the general observing area

The Riverside Astronomical Society set up a bunch of solar scopes one day. They were very popular.

Saturday afternoon is the BBQ (BYOF) social. Here are Al and Jeff.

Ron, Al and Annie. Nights were pretty cool (down in the low 50s) so I got ahead of the game with my snow suit. :)

A neighbor of ours at Nightfall - Jose, we met him there a number of years ago as well as at AIC.

Another regular Nightfall neighbor - Jeff.
