Solar astronomy is my favorite astronomy. I've been observing the daystar as well as night stars for over half a century. It never gets old (astronomy, that is) Highlights in my hobby: Daylight Fireball meteorite in the mid 1960's. It looked like a flaming plane and it landed in Canada. Perseid meteor shower over Shenandoah Valley from mountains. Observing Space Shuttle launch from Connecticut (it took off from Florida!) at night. And of course, the 2017 Total Eclipse in South Carolina. Sky conditions were a ten!
