Observing Event
at
the ACA Observatory
Mars & Lots More!
Jupiter will start off our observing session at sunset and
Saturn will bring it to a close. In between we'll view Mars,
Cigar Galaxy, Whirlpool Galaxy, Sombrero Galaxy, globular
clusters M3 & M53, galaxy M94, double star 24 Coma
Berenices, and more. We'll even reach 1/6 the distance
across the observable Universe to see quasar 3C273. The Best
Free Coffee in Akron will be brewing all night. |

New feature: The "T"
on each object's line in the chart above indicates the time of
transit in addition to the rise and set times for the object. |
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.
