Greetings from Palmia Observatory,
Well, we are back from our cruise adventure to the Southern Hemisphere with ports of call in New Zealand and Australia with an add on adventure into the outback of Australia. We were also lucky in travelling with old friends, OC Astronomers and Radio Hams, Marty and Bonnie.
Anyway, we are late in wishing everyone a happy new year. So, Happy New Year everyone! There was a lot of celebration aboard the ship, but we were tired out and missed actual new year's by about 3 hours.

Well, we left on our road trip to view the October 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse from our selected location in St. George, Utah. Las Vegas is about halfway from OC, so we had to stop there for refreshments and get a view of the Sphere.
Greetings from Palmia Observatory,
Well, many of us are making plans for where we will be to observe the April 2024 total solar eclipse, but the upcoming annular eclipse on October 14 is also on our planning radar. But as astronomers we often forget about another group that is especially interested in eclipses: Electric Utilities who must plan for the loss of solar generated power at that time.
