Yesterday was the longest night of the year. I’ve wanted to get night current since my PPL, just cuz. Finally did it last night! Wow, that was just weird indeed, after years of daytime flying.

Anybody else watch the conjunction this evening? Pretty neat. Made me wish I had a decent telescope.

Someone noted yesterday, about the solstice, "The shortest day of the longest year happened on a Monday."

I have a couple. If you get one, it will guarantee that every cool astronomical event is also the night with the most clouds.
