Yeah, speaking of dark skies, we are dark skies here and Sun River is a dark sky community down south of Bend. And we're about 20 miles from the Oregon Star Party site, which is certainly dark skies. We have no street lights here either. You drive up to our HOA and it's kind of spooky at night. It's like all these, there's no light anywhere. So it's real nice here for doing observations. We do get a little light from the city itself, but it's not bad. So for the most part, we've got some really good observing going on here. We love to sit out in the hot tub at night and watch media. So there you go. I'll say 73s and turn it back and quit babbling. 87 Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, the High Desert Pirate Radio. It's not babbling. It's a 9 o'clock, Matt. Can someone put that on a t-shirt? It's not babbling. It's the 9 o'clock, Matt. I actually am on the, in Chandler, Arizona here, I'm on the very, very, very south end of Chandler. Two blocks away from me to the south is the Eila Indian, Eila River Indian Reservation. And that's wide open spaces out there. So I have a darker sky than many people here. I mean, I've got light pollution to the north and frankly, there is one street light. I mentioned hot tub gazing. There's one street light that sits out in front of my house and I am literally searching on Marketplace to get some of those six foot black room shade separator things to stick out there because that one stupid light messes up my stargazing. And I can't shoot it out. That would be wrong. But anyway. Yeah Dave, thanks for the stargazing report down there with the Oregon Star Party group down there and all that. So anyway, thanks. Anyone else want to join the 9 o'clock, Matt? Name and call please.
