All right Michael, again welcome to the net, get that scope out. It's probably not as dark as it used to be down in Castle Rock. I mean I'm in Upham Highlands Ranch and it is not nearly as dark as it used to be either. In fact it's too bright to see much of anything other than the moon and the sun anymore. And with all this smoke around it makes it a very difficult spot. Yeah, trying to get out there and we'll all enjoy the stars as well. Thanks for checking in tonight and again welcome. Rick we got you on the list, BA3RKL, checking in tonight. All right this is KI0 AR Net Control for the Colorado West Run. I mean that's running a little bit long so hopefully everybody can stick around. We got some interesting rocker report, long rocker report tonight. And interesting bulletins here tonight as well so please stick around. I do go down the list after the rocker report and talk with everybody so the new check ins. Please stay if you can. If you've got any questions, this is our question and answer period after we finish the rocker report. So stay tuned for that. This is KI0 AR Net Control for the Colorado Astronomy Net. Going to start off with ISS passes. If you're interested in visual visible ISS passes you may want to check out this website www.heaven-above.com. I just posted that up over on YouTube for visible passes over my particular area, the Denver area. I log in and put in my home coordinates and I get much more accurate times and positions that way. I do recommend you do that. We got, let's see, at 830 we got a fairly decent pass coming up at 830 over the Denver area. The ISS travels from the southwest to the east and northeast, keeping about 62 degrees above the southeast horizon. So a nice pass this evening. I don't know if it's clear. It was cloudy earlier. The one thing I like about this particular website is I can click on a particular date and it gets a nice star chart.
