Public Observing Event

at the ACA Observatory

 

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.

    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.
