If you are one of the lucky people who were able to capture stars near the sun during the total eclipse, and you would be willing to share your image with those AL members less fortunate, please send me an email:  aaron@clevenson.org

Or, if you know of pictures on the internet that will work, let mw know.

This is necessary for those trying to earn the Eclipses 2017 Special Observing Award.

Thanks.

Aaron

The clock is running.  The deadline for submission of the 2017 Solar Eclipse Special Observing Award is September 21, 2017; one month after the eclipse.  I hope that you all had a wonderful eclipse and success in taking pictures.  Go to the Award's web page to see the detailed requirements:  https://www.astroleague.org/content/solar-eclipse-2017-special-observing-award

Remember that there are three options to include those who were not able to photograph the eclipse personally.

We use the database to determine when people have earned various levels in the Master Observer Progression; from Observer to Platinum.  We have noticed that some of you have more than one form of your name in the on-line database.  Please help us by checking your awards and send me an email (aaron@clevenson.org) if you have more than one form.  If they all have the same form of your name, then no need to email.

For example:  Aaron Clevenson, Aaron B. Clevenson, Dr. Aaron Clevenson, Aaron Clevenson Jr., or Erin Clevenson.
