Summer solstice is, indeed, the correct term; that's what I get for
emailing right before bedtime!
I think the scheduled PUG should go forward, with eligible photos
taken within 3 days of the summer solstice (3 days before solstice day
+ solstice day + 3 days after = a 7 day "window").

If we need to tie this to some astronomical event, the Delta Aquarids
meteor shower will peak 28-29 July. It's visible from the Southern
Hemisphere and maybe some southern latitudes of the Northern one. So
not everyone will submit pictures of meteors. Otherwise Brian should
pick a day he likes, or postpone until autumn.

Quoting Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com>:
In the days of yore, when I had hair and we last had a "Synchronicity"
PUG, it featured photos taken within a day or two of the equinox.
If that is the case this time, the closing date is July 30 rather than
September 30; and that the relevant equinox is the vernal one (June 21).
Brian, am I correct?
That's what I get for not proof reading messages before sending.
The closing date for each PUG is the last day of the preceding month - so
for August, it should have read 31 July.
I'm afraid I'm guilty of not giving sufficient consideration and advance
notice to this theme. No excuses, I'm a dolt...
The first Synchronicity theme was in October 1998 and the idea then was for
PDMLers to all take a picture at more or less the same time. The equinox
was adopted as the reference date for taking the pictures.
Given that the June equinox has passed, it would be too restrictive to adopt
that for our August PUG. So there are two options:
* Defer this theme until October or November, using the September equinox as
the reference.
* Adopt a specific time and date this month.
Your thoughts??
