The trip to Pagan May 22-29, 2021 included a bit of astronomy to observe and take some images of the full lunar eclipse, as well as do some GPS mapping for use by CNMI agencies. Many thanks go out to the intrepid crew of Aoba and to June and Jordan Ogo for their warm hospitality. We'll be returning in early April 2022 to take full advantage of the dark skies!
