A four day old
Moon will be the first
object on the observing list. Part of our observing session
will be spent touring through the skies with an
OIII filter; viewing a
supernova remnant, a beautiful swan made of gas & dust, and
several planetary & emission nebulae - you won't want to
miss this! Many other objects are on the observing list.
The Best Free Coffee in Akron will be brewing all observing

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.
