There was one CME that had a possibility of arriving today, but I don’t think this is quite it. 😉

At least DSCOVR is better than ACE. ACE had a lot of spikes in the data especially during stronger storms. If you look back to some older dates in the archive you’ll likely find some 😉

Yup! I remember when DSCOVR was in Safehold for like a year or something in 2019, and ACE was reactivated as the primary source for solar wind data. I witnessed so many 130-300 spikes in density :D 

But thus said, DSCOVR has its problems with its faraday cup too.

Got the Hydrogen-alpha blues…

From this I think you can deduce that I am somewhat bluesy and bored...
hope it brightens your day/night and provides a good laugh… or at least a smile! While we wait for new spot on the bright ball in the sky!

The Tele Vue Blues!
 
Howdy! n Thank All Y’all!
 
I was kinda a thankin'  I'd a clean 'at 'un up 'irst, 'en an' d'en:
 
The Tele Vue Blues
 (Tele Vue is the dog's name... ;-). 
 
[phat phat bass on the Ba da's]
 
My honey cut out on me, last night,
ran off into the clear, moonless night!
Ba da da da doomp...
 
Took my brand new Tele Vue-oooo-ohh lord,
Took my new Tele Vue and ran off into night! 
Ba da da da doomp...
 
Took my new Tele Vue!
and ran off into the clear moonless night!
Ba da da da doomp!
 
Left me with a n-aaaahh-utin' much
Nutin 'ut my old tiny tripod and tube!
Ba da da da doomp!
 
Whooooaaa, my baby took off into the night,
Red lights a shinin', but ain’t very bright!
Ba da da da doomp!
 
Ooohhh my baby gone into the cleeeaaaarrr night!
Took my dawg, Tele Vue, and ran off outta  sight!
Ba da da da doomp! 
 
Took all the filters too-oooo!
absconded w'it 'em, an Tele Vue,
out into da darkest of nights!
Ba da da da doomp!
 
Whooooaaaa, my poor dog Tele Vuuuueee-oooo!
Gone, and all my mounts and filters tooooo!
 
I've been a awaiting six months to get a Hydrogen-alpha set up... Since it arrived, we've had, for the most part, we've had beautiful clear skies from sundown to sunup! And plenty of clouds all day long... every day. No end in sight!
 
The forecast: "crappy"! continued cloudy, rain and Saharan dust! Well, if'n Imma gonna h't ta wait me a while longer, well, Imma sure a hope'n' we're a gonna at least git us some good rain...   In the meantime, glad you've enjoyed the show! 😎.   A great idea, a tune about general astronomical issues and problems would probably garner a larger audience.  Perhaps, we can find the Blues Brothers and put together an album.  I believe Elvis has left the building!
 
They way things are looking now, the next ditty ‘I’ll probably be “magnetic sunspot blues!”, If’n we don’t start seeing ‘em spot numbers go up! 
 
I Gotz t'em astronomy bloooozz!
 
Gig'em!
 
Blue Skies and Clear Nights!
