Sucker Clouds at Sun Baked Observatory


Sucker Clouds at Sun Baked Observatory

When the temperatures rose to over 90-degrees F. in the shade (averaging 120-degrees in direct sunlight), water vapor evaporated and the sun made an appearance in the morning of Thursday, June 2, 2022 - rain momentarily stopped, then sucker holes in the clouds began to appear. How long this will last in unclear as the weather reports rain for the rest of the day.

Parts are slated for ordering to increase the resolution and capacity of Sun Baked Observatory. Improvements are being made to the mounting, guiding, and tracking system. Solar prominences along the sun's limb are being tuned to spectral wavelengths and numerous tests are being performed.
