Went out star gazing for the first time since Covid started ,  Saturday July 23, at Melanie's house on Garland Road.

Left my telescope and equipment home,  too hot to carry and drag it around, especially that we had to walk about 150 feet to the site.

No way ...

So. brought my binocs and star charts.  Skies were murky because of the heat,  south skies had Moncton glow, so could not see any objects in that area.

Mosquitoes were starving. had not seen people in over 2 years.  I think I lost 5 pounds. and slapped myself numerous times.
