Saturday December 5, 2015 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Status updated by our Observatory Director on Saturday 12/5/2015 at 3:05 PM:


Skies look good for evening stargazing. The Observatory will open at 6:00pm.

Public Observing Event
at the ACA Observatory
 
Impromptu Event!

It looks like a great evening for stargazing; cool temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies.
What will we be looking at tonight?

It's a perfect weather forecast for Saturday evening stargazing. The Blue Snowball is at zenith. The planets Uranus & Neptune are well-placed for evening observation. Many open clusters including Herschel's Double Cluster
are on the observing list. The Pleiades (Seven Sisters) will be viewed through extra wide field of view telescope. It should be a great evening!
Remember, stargazing generates little body heat; it only warms the heart.
A general rule of thumb is to dress for temperatures
15°F below nighttime predicted lows.

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.
