This is KI0AR, Net Control for the Colorado West Driving Net. Did see another check in over on YouTube there. Try Jet Cap, okay. There you go. If I could get a first name and a city, state where you're at, I certainly appreciate that. If you got a call sign, that's even better. So welcome to the net. I think that might be a new call as well. Thanks for everybody over on YouTube. Definitely give me a like if you like it. I hope you do. All right, continuing on. We got meteor showers. We have just wrapped up the limits. The duration of this shower covers the period of November 14th through the 20th. The maximum occurred back on the 17th. We might still have some of those flying through the skies, but not too many. Don't expect too much for the rest of the month. But if you're out there underneath the dark skies looking up, you might see a meteor or two streak through the skies. Maybe not necessarily associated with any other meteor shower, but hopefully you will. That's for sure. Next we got Cauchic C2025A6 Lemon. It's passing through the constellation of Ophiuchus low to the west. This is going to be another difficult one to spot. By the end of the month, it may be too low and lost in the evening twilight glow. Comet Lemon was visible for a while, but might have dimmed to about 7th magnitude by month's end. And then we had a little bit of a dimmer comet, Comet Swan C2025R2 Swan, is passing through the constellation of Aquarius and now into Pisces by month's end. And it has dimmed to about 10th magnitude. Comet Swan is actually fairly close to Saturn and Neptune. So under dark sky conditions, it shouldn't be too hard. But at 10th magnitude, you're pushing the limits even of an 8-inch scope at that point. So that's got to be a little more difficult to spot for that. I did post in the newsletter and also on the website newsletter a little diagram of where Comet Swan is relative to Neptune and Saturn.
