Typical late-autumn weather has invaded my solar project. Clouds and rain 11/22 and 11/23. So I took advantage of the bad weather and completed the documentation for some other other Astronomical League Observing club awards. I submitted completed documentation including sketches, articles I have written and observing logs for the Messier Club, Messsier Binocular Club, Caldwell Club, Herschel 400 Club and the Southern Sky Binocular Club at the same time I submitted the Sunspotter Club paperwork. You eclipse chasers out there could work on the two binocular projects while on your annual trips around the world. They only take a pair of binoculars!
Additional data required by A.L.P.O. The Carrington rotation Number. Rotation #1996 commenced on November 2, 2002.
