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?
Early birds will be treated to view of Saturn
before it sets. We'll be exploring the remains
of a star that exploded 5000 years ago and
observing many new objects including a galaxy
discovered by William Herschel and many
planetary nebulae and open clusters. Neptune
clears the treeline by 9:45pm. Star party
temperature in mid 50's - just perfect, but
bring a jacket.
We'll have the Best Free
Coffee in Akron brewing all observing session. |

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.
