At the visitor's center at the Black Canyon National Park, one of the park rangers set up a telescope for viewing the sun. It was morning and everyone was stopping to look at the sunspots. The ranger was explaining what we were seeing.
There were two small sunspots and a small solar prominence. I could't take pictures but found a link that shows a similar view.

That same night I was up looking at the beautiful night skies after they finally cleared.
Great pictures of constellations by Astro Bob One of his pictures is below:
This is what I saw last night, Aug 29 at about 4:30 am
Couldn't get anything like this with my camera. The large bright dot above the word 'East' is Procyon, the main star in Canis major, Orion's favorite hunting dog.
