We have fall rainy weather today in Chicago and I am wearing my jeans also.

We are sweltering here!
My home weather station shown 116.2° F yesterday at 3 PM (15:00 Hrs), and 116.1° F right now (12:33 PM)
F= Fartenhot!

I didn't bother last night, we had Seattle Clouds (Microsoft Skies).
So I don't bother because if I set up, those pesky clouds just keep messin things up.

But before some dolt opened the oven, I was enjoying cooler evenings, a sweater, and occasionally a jacket to keep my back warm.

I want to try and image the Pink Pillow Nebula. I guess it's a Hubble find. NGC 7027

Anyway, I'm sure glad you are getting some Fall weather finally.

It is hot here also. It was in the mid 80's at 3:00AM, unfortunately it was also very smoky from the "Creek fire" ~170 miles south of here making the moon was just a dim red disc and blotting out all other objects. I just went back to bed hoping for some clearing to try and capture an image of Mars in the next few days.

That nebula looks pretty awesome that would be a good one to take the Infinity to. I've got it bookmarked so when I'm finished with everything I got going I'll see if it is doable from my location. Thanks Sonny

I love chasing the weird.
(Um, don't say that to my wife.)
But if anybody can grab that little darling, I'd be all eyes to see it.
I'm thinking Brian M with his RASA, or Tony with his big refractor.
It's pretty obscure.
I do hope your fall weather holds, Ronnie.

So much smoke in the sky that at 10AM today, the sun looked as red as a sunset and no problem looking straight at it. And the smoke is holding the temperature down too. Only 66 deg at 1PM, whereas before the smoke, I was seeing regular 112 deg temperatures. I prefer the smoke to the heat!

We are going into a volcanic/nuclear winter!

I actually saw planets, briefly, the night before last.
And some actual STARS to the South Last night!

But Red Sun this morning...

Still, I keep hoping. If I wait long enough I win. I always win.
