The Astronomical League is offering a Special Observing Challenge to commemorate the 2024 (April 8) Total Eclipse.  It is quite similar to the Annular Eclipse Challenge in 2023.  You should start collecting data for the Gold Level immediately (it requires at least 6 months of data).  For more information and all of the details, go to the website:  https://www.astroleague.org/solar-eclipse-observing-challenges/

The 2023 Annular Eclipse is behind us.  We hope that many of you were able to view it in person.  It is not too late to participate in this Observing Challenge, even at the Gold level, but you must begin the lunar observations at this time.

The Observe the Moon Night Observing Challenge is upon us.  Observations may be done from today through October 25, 2023.  Deadline for submission is November 21, 2023.
