Impromptu Event!

It looks like a great evening for stargazing; warm temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies.
.

What will we be looking at tonight?

Jupiter and its four Galilean Moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) are well-placed as the ecliptic is still pretty high. Exciting observing list will compliment Jupiter viewing. We hope to see you here.

Solar System objects rise/transit/set times from the ACA Observatory on the date of this event...

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.
