Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Neat pic!! We drove a little way south of town on a dirt road (no Colorado people) to watch it. Pretty amazing to see it get so dark and stars become visible.

On the way back to town, it was a mass exodus southbound. Must have been a slow day in Denver. SW

That's pretty cool! Last total solar eclipse we got here was in '79, and it lasted a shade over 4 minutes. I'll be fertilizing the daisies long before I see another....

Have found very little on the latest TOTAL Lunar eclipse off the super moon a week previous to all the excitement of the total Solar eclipse. Would have missed it if it wasn't mentioned on the local news at the tail end of a story on the Perseides meteor shower...
That red moon disappeared awfully quick!

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
