If you know a ham, all you have to do is ask her, "How is 20 metres?" to begin a discussion on sunspots, solar cycles, propagation, and maybe even global warming. Well, right now, we have two sunspots in solar groups so most hams who are active on 20 metres will be happy. From the …

While the series of photos to image the Flame Nebula or NGC 2024 take only a few seconds each to expose finding, identifying, and verifying the nebula take hours of telescope time. Tilt the image above back and forth about the long axis to visualize the nebula. NGC 2024, in the image directly above, stands …
