We had an excellent stargazing session this past
Tuesday evening.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot was easily visible 50
minutes before sunset! If you
missed it, you have another chance on Thursday,
9/19 (tomorrow). And it will
be an evening of events with Jupiter's Great Red
Spot transit at 8:28pm, occultation of Jupiter's
Moon Io at 9:06pm, and a high ISS pass at
8:46pm.
In between, we'll observe Saturn, open cluster
NGC 6633, Wild Duck Cluster, Butterfly Cluster,
ET Cluster, Herschel's Double Cluster, Swan
Nebula,
globular clusters M22 & M15, Andromeda Galaxy,
and more.
The observatory will open at 7:45 PM for
stargazing
