Here is the LINK to the weekly newsletter over at Eadsy Astronomy. I am also for now including the video portion of the newsletter. This will be a feature for contributing members after January 1st, 2026. So here is the LINK to the Vlogging of the Newsletter if you want to visually see it. In the video I share how to use Skyhound to find Findercharts for the visible comets and the site will tell you if the comet is visible depending on where you live. Take a look and remember, membership is free and come January some content will be for members only. I am including the vlogging newsletter for free for everyone at this time. So please take a look. Starting January 1st, 2026, the video part with the tidbits and extra's I include will be for members only. Membership is free.
Also, if you do decide to become a contributing member here are the benefits you receive. Please note I am happy for everyone who wants to be a free member, I just am going to offer a little bit more for anyone who wants to have access to the extra content and contribute for it. I will only post this about 1-2 times a quarter just so others can see what I am offering.

Everything from previous tiers
Attend one of my observing sessions in the field (Utah), scheduled and weather permitting, and receive direct support for observing or sketching. This tier you are paying for my time to support you up to 2 hours for a monthly session in the field. You may move to this tier as you want that montly support. Once you sign up for this tier I will email you with your registered email to set up a time to observe for the next month after you have paid this membership.
Limit of 3 per trip and only 3 trips are offered so no more than 9 slots are available per month. It is $30.00 per person currently and that will rise to $75 per person as of January 1st, 2026.
If you live outside of Utah or within the state, you are responsible for all travel costs and lodging, food etc. I do not supply that just my time at the observing field assisting you directly for two hours.
If you are from out of the area or do not have a telescope, I will arrange for you to use one of mine and will even instruct those new to the hobby how to use the telescope. I offer a 10" dob, a 100 mm ED Refractor, a 6" or 102mm Achromatic Refractor or use of my SeeStar S50 to learn how to use it and take your first images.
This level is designed for a month or two at most depending on how much help you want getting started in the hobby or with a particular part of the hobby. After that you can either return to the free membership or one of the lower tiers if you wish to have the benefits of the contributing memberships.
