Actually, the event wouldn't have been visible from Chicagoland even if the skies had been cloudless. I would've posted a notice if it could've been seen from our area.

BTW, I've been offline during a moving process. That's why I didn't notice this thread earlier. Today I'm net surfing from the Arlington Heights library. Hopefully, the phone/cable/internet installation man will show up this afternoon, which he failed to do on Friday.

Hey Curt...

You absence was noticed and I figured something was going on in your life.

If it stays clear, I'll try to catch the Antares event...occultations are always cool!

Whoops - I suspect you missed it, Joe, since it occurred during the early morning of the 24th.

BTW, the WOW installer also failed to show up Tuesday. So I fired WOW and hired SBC. However, SBC won't have me connected to high speed internet until June 7.

Yep, the early morning was indeed clouded over, but wouldn't you know it, the very next night it was crystal clear. Looked at the Moon and Antares to it's distant right...

Isn't that the second time that WOW failed to show up? Good thing to fire them, the service would have been spotty I suspect anyway.

One good thing about being off line Curt, is that you missed the melt down here.

See you regularly on the forum soon.
