Thursday
Oct 4, 2012 from 7:30 to 10:00PM
Special
impromptu Observing
Event
at
the ACA Observatory
Public is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Note from our Observatory Director:
The observatory will be open from 7:30pm to 10:00pm. We'll be
looking at double stars and open clusters during the first part of
the observing session and then move on to planetary nebulae and
globular clusters featuring the M13 & M22 showdown with the two 14"
telescopes. The Meade 14" will be fitted with the 31mm Nagler
eyepiece! We hope to see you here.
Remember to dress for 15°F cooler than
predicted
nighttime low temperature.

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.
