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?

Ron, our Observatory Director, will let us know what his targets will be
for this event.  There are always a huge range of objects available for us
to see regardless of the time of year.  Then there are the occasional un-
expected celestial events: novas, supernovas, near-earth asteroids,
comets...for which we can't plan early in the year.  If any of these odd
events happen to coincide with nice weather, we'll be here to show them
to you.  Also, we have solar events during clear warm summer days.

 

Usually we'll have the Best Free Coffee in Akron brewing all observing session.

    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.
