Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Ok, so here we are ready for the two day AAVSO meeting in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Observing with Street Lights

Waking up in Las Cruces, New Mexico; Clyde Tombaugh's Stained Glass Window; SM2 and WSMR; Hooray, the Milky Way!
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well this blog post is from offsite in Las Cruces, New Mexico for 108th AAVSO meeting. But on this free day before the meeting begins we had a chance to Clyde Tombaugh's Stain Glass Window, tour White Sands Missile Museum and see some great views of the Milky Way.

Flat Earth? Do your first greenhouse warming calculation; Inside Bill's Brain with Terrapower; Vampire protection?
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well this blog post has me at the airport flying to Las Cruces, NM, for the AAVSO (https://www.aavso.org/) annual meeting and tours of the Apache Point Observatory. So, no observing to report, but I do hope to get some pictures of the Milky Way in the darker skies in New Mexico. More about the meeting later, but first let's review some other activities.

Has Gaia Data Resolved the tension in measurements of the Hubble Constant? Can Pluto be seen in city lights viewing?
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well here we are in another busy week. We have upcoming conferences and also a chance to do some astrometry, which is now helping to maybe resolve the tension between two estimates of the Hubble Constant, in our search for finally trying ourselves to (though not yet) get an image of Pluto.

Astronomers' brains wanted: Night of the Living Dead; OC Physicists to search for vampire emanations; Primordial Black Holes, Dark Matter, Neutrinos and other deeply hidden things
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Last week we talked about the search for ghostly particles from nuclear power plants and this week we continue exploring some illusive deeply hidden things.
