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?
.
The weather forecast for Monday evening is for
clear skies. This gives us an opportunity to do
some Lunar observing with a 6-day old Moon. In
addition,
Jupiter will be well-placed for observing at
star party time. Later, we'll
observe the Ring Nebula, Great Hercules Cluster,
Wild Duck Cluster, and more!
The observatory will open at 9:00 PM
Please dress appropriately for expected
temperature conditions. |

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.
