BAYFIELD INLET - ASTRONOMICAL TO YOU TO



Who takes a holiday from the cottage?
Well as fortunate as I am, I'm taking a little break and heading out west for a month. 

Going to finish off some riding around Oregon that (Nicola, Dreaming California ), Hyla, and I didn't quite finish last year.

(if you are really looking to waste some quality time with some quality adventure, the trip is posted on top of posted a little deeper back blog.)


 On route I'm going to meet up with brother John and Carol and I don't know how many other tens of thousands to take in the Solar Eclipse.
(With a partial eclipse visible from cottage country, everyone should please remember:

It's like a mother breastfeeding at a restaurant, 
it's free, 
it's beautiful, 
but under no circumstances do you stare at it.)


Meanwhile to get in the mood of looking up,
just a few shots from the island.
A fairly recent Aurora

A ISS flyby of Ursa Major.
International Space Station.


Looking for some fun and informing astronomy websites, here's three of my regular go tos:
SPACEWEATHER
SPACEWEATHERCANADA
HEAVENSABOVE




Another of the ISS with what would have had Elon's SpaceX Dragon2 just metres away from docking.

KEEP LOOKING UP, 
unless there are rattlesnakes around.
