Thanks, Marv! I’ll still be in Texas, but I hope you have some great viewing tomorrow!
It is looking like it will be a clear night tonight. I’m planning on getting there around 4pm. Will open up the 30” telescope.

CRO is open. Skies are very clear.
Still traveling today, was hoping to get back in time. Oh well … Hope you all have a great time and even better viewing!
Ditto what Joel said!
CRO is all closed up. Had a total of 5. Was a great night. Had a nice ISS pass to the North. Had Starlink satellites passing almost straight overhead. They were spaced out by about 20 to 30 degrees. Got the 30” telescope firmware updated and also the catalogues. The 15’ dome opened and closed with no issues. We took a look at Venus before it got to low. Looked at Saturn and several of its Moons. Hadn’t used the 30” telescope in quite some time, so it was kinda a refresher on running it.

Thanks, Dave. I learned a lot about the 30" dome and software operations. It was a beautiful night!! Hope to master it in 2025!
