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?
Uranus & Neptune are well-placed for observing.
Herschel's Double Cluster is also well-placed
and a favorite treat to observe. We'll have a
close-up view of Double Cluster in the 16"
observatory telescope and a wide-field view of
the 1.7 degree celestial object in our 8"
Dobsonian. Dreyer's description for this object
in NGC is "!", which is shorthand for
remarkable. Shining at 4th magnitude, it's hard
to believe this object wasn't discovered by
Messier. Many other objects on the observing
list.
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.
