As the sun sets

Almost 98 degrees outside

Both late and early

Yesterday was hot

tomorrow will be hot, too.

Perseids and clouds

This is just the beginning of the clouds.

It would seem that I will not be able to view the meteor shower.

Lamas day and perseids meteor shower

Some sky drama tonight:

the big news for the week will be Lamas day tomorrow (tuesday) and sunday night's (august 11) meteor shower.

Lamas day is the halfway mark between june's solstice and september's equinox.

this year it is tuesday 8/6.

tuesday = new moon

sunday's perseid meteor shower will be ready for action soon after sunset.

A break in the clouds

The morning and the evening had good cloud cover.

i stepped outside for a moment in the early afternoon to catch a brief moment of blue.

Revising noble ignitus sky

It took a couple of weeks but i am a step closer to deciding the function and structure of this blog.

i have two thought rockets to pursue here:

first, in the beginning of the week (mondays) i will put together some potential star gazing options for the week.  

second, will be images of what lies "above" (or inspired from above) throughout the week. i will still include some data to help me define the images.

i often review the data to see how the forecasts change from initial expectations.
