We're getting a few days off from the Monsoon so the Clouds are parting
for a bit.

Woohoo! Here come the Pleiades! Can Orion be far behind?

If you go down from the Pleiades and go slightly right at the Base of
the Clouds the Orange Star you see is Betelgeuse. One of the "Shoulder"
Stars of Orion. So in answer to your Question - No.

Purdy!


Thanks Bob.

I remember seeing Orion rising a little before sunrise at Crater Lake in
mid-Auguat some years ago. I like this time of the year - we start
getting hints that winter isn't all that far away.

Hmm. Got to go - seems the Seattle villagers have a hankerin' to run me
out of town...

Lovely picture...

I haven't to Crater Lake since '64. I'll never forget the DEEP BLUE of
the Water. As too the time of Year, what's nice for me with my Eastern
Horizon being so low is I'm generally at least 1/2 Season ahead of most of
my Amateur Astronomer friends in what I'm viewing ;-)

Why? Are they going to blame you because the Rain is going to go from
Warm to Cool? ;-)

Despite the fact this week is our statistically driest and warmest, we
pulled off a couple rainy days, including setting a daily record for
rainfall on Thursday. Climatologically, there is a less the 10% chance of
rain. It's been a somewhat strange year... But, yeah - folks around here
get a bit touchy if they don't get to dry out the rust now and then.

Not quite weather related, though. Yell if y'all need a Crater Lake
floodlet. I can do that... =)

Yes. It's ~that~ blue.
