Public
Observing Event
at
the ACA Observatory
Impromptu Event!
It looks like a great evening for stargazing; cool
temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies.

On tonight's observing list...
The Earth's
Moon!
High pressure is forecasted to move into the
area Wednesday giving us an opportunity to view
the
Moon one day
past
First Quarter.
At this phase, the
Straight Wall
will be visible as well as many other lunar
features. It is not often we have a Lunar
observing program because other celestial
objects are "washed out" by the light of the
Moon. The forecast for Wednesday is clear skies.

Jet Stream (updates
automatically to latest available image)
The Jet Stream affects astronomical "seeing" (steadiness of the air)
If
we're in a gray area, seeing will not be as good as in a white area.
If
we're in a white area, the shorter the arrows, the better.
