Being born and raised (reared?) in the South, and presently living in Colorado along the Front Range I find it amusing when people think that anything over 80F is “hot” and they really freak out when it gets into the 90s. Some days they actually sweat. I like to sweat. I grew up in summers where 100F+ weather was just part of the cosmic background.

So suffering through the past two winters here with sub-freezing weather and miles deep snow (from my perspective) which people walk around in tennis shoes and T-shirts in, I have grown to WELCOME Summer.

That being said, I have watched many meteor showers. Presently living in a metro area, Colorado Springs, ambient light is a real problem for me watching the night sky. The Moon may also be a factor.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
