Last night allowed me to finally get some good UBV data after near a week of cloudy weather. While it does appear the star system dimming has stalled, I do not...
My results for tonight 2010-01-08 17:25 UT was V=3.670, 3.685, 3.681 and 3.669. Which give an average of 3.676 and a stddev: 0.008. This happens to be exacly...
Hi Thomas, Thanks for braving the sub-zero temperatures. If second contact has happened it will indicate something significant regarding the totality...
