Observations for 2022 September 03


Today was pretty much a duplicate of yesterday, down to the bison hanging around the bike trail at dawn in front of the store. Grand erupted during the night at around the same time as yesterday. Went down to Fan & Mortar at dawn and found that it looked the same too. Watched for a few hours with nothing different.

Went out to Grand around 10:00 with the hope of a short interval and a sunset window. Instead, like yesterday, it took close to nine hours on a hot day to erupt. No Turban Delay intervals, just a series of Turban eruptions where Grand made no attempt at erupting. The sky was clear, so at least the One Burst Grand wasn't in shadow.

The evening was also almost the same as yesterday. The only difference is that this time it took five Turban eruption intervals after the Turban Delay for us to get the One Burst Grand eruption. Also like yesterday, no one illuminated the eruption, so we got to see it by a bright quarter moon. Every so often during the eruption a moonbow would appear, especially at the start and later in the eruption as Vent was putting out a fine spray.
