Juliancolton Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I hope the overcast holds off long enough to see the Venus–Jupiter conjunction this evening. Viewing conditions look pretty sketchy the rest of the week. :axe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, it's more common than you would think http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jupiter-venus-to-converge-in-star-of-bethlehem-moment/ Yeah, I've been photographing Venus–Jupiter conjunctions for a few years now. I did actually get a quick break in the clouds, just long enough to trip a couple one-off exposures. Maybe I'll get another chance this week to do a more worthwhile attempt.

Can you point me in the direction of a decent, easy-to-read sky watch site? Used to be into amateur astronomy a bit and would love to pick it back up!

I've always kinda wanted to get more into astrophotography but I stop myself becaue I know it will end up being another money pit of equipment. My 8inch Dobsonian keeps me entertained enough year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The 4 hot summers in a row between 2010 and 2013 spoiled a a lot of people who were big summer fans. A string of La Ninaish cold PDO summers will do it when the heat source regions of the Southern Plains were in deep drought. I disagree with this. Summers generally have many stretches of nice days and warmth. Havi g clouds and constant shower threats with very little runs of 3 days or more of brach days isnt nornal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Euro gets the area around Paris to near 100 on Wednesday which would be one of the more impressive summer heat events for them in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally just watch the sky and use a free program called Stellarium to confirm/anticipate interesting celestial goings-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havi g clouds and constant shower threats with very little runs of 3 days or more of brach days isnt nornal Well..4 summers in a row of major heat from 2010-2013 was a new record for our area. Most streaks of warmth have been of shorter duration.

Brian5671 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have actually been welcoming the rains since the record dry and warm May did a number on the evergreens around here. Long Beach is in the process of replanting all the trees that were ruined by the salt water tidal flooding in Sandy. But there have been some reports of the new trees not faring too well. Tree.jpg ouch. Same here, minimal yard/plant watering and AC has generally been off-some benefits to this wet cool spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 From 2010 through 2014, each summer was successively cooler than the one that preceded it in this area. The pattern appears to be continuing in 2015 with the cold June already in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I give the past few weeks a FAIL. The north shore of Suffolk County, Long Island has been one day of sun for every 3 days of BS rain and clouds. I cant stand it. And it was 59f the other night. This is just how i feel and i think it sucks. You lead a hard life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 "But the set up looks just like '96." Wish that I was connected to the net for the 95-96 winter. My P-150/56K dial up rig didn't become operational until the 96-97 stinker winter. The 12/30/00 event was the first decent snowstorm that I got to track online.
