Hi Frank. I just got the May report from Starry Night (and Space.com) up just a short while ago, as this last week has been quite hectic for me here. I always enjoy the different format they use on this video and between us we should have all of the events covered for the month again. Thanks Frank and keep up your great work.

Hi Marshall hope all is well!
I can’t wait till tomorrow morning.
My last Idoctor appointment to get my prescription for reading glasses and then I will be on more often.
It’s very hard to see close up and the father I hold something away to see and then it’s too far away so can’t wait for tomorrow morning.
Yes, I think we’ve got everything covered between you and me lol!
I also enjoy the format from High Point!👏🏻
