Long shot on finding it local but giving it a shot.

I this is on too. https://www.pbs.org/video/new-eye-on-th ... se-zvzqn1/

I agree with Suresh. 2/3 is a good target though that can vary item to item. Somethings go obsolete and drop drastically. Regarding question on club sales before covid we had a swap meet once a year or so at the regular meetings. I doubt we have the turnout now. This online forum marketplace reaches...

I think several including me are watching the weather to see when we can get a view. Locally it looks cloudy at least for the next 5 days.

Here is a fairly good overview : https://agenaastro.com/articles/guides/guide-to-light-pollution-filters.html#filter I have used the lumicon UHC gen 1 filter at home in Woodbury.

It was ok. My biggest complaint is they showed some really unrealistic night skies. I think a I saw one shot that looked like a photoshopped deep sky with people in front.

Regarding the Blocklisting. Jerry T what browser are you running and are you behind a VPN? Does this happen when your phone is on your carrier's network or attached to a home wifi or public wifi?

Gave up at CGO —stormy.

At CGO still cloudy and windy. Hopefully it will clear soon but GEOS imagery makes me think ELO is the place to be.

Operation Tau Herculids Snipe hunt underway. Will hopefully find good conditions when I arrive at CGO.
