Looks like we'll have excellent observing conditions
tonight. Very good seeing and transparency are
predicted. We'll need it as we go after the faintest
object in the Messier catalog: Cork Nebula.
Remember to dress for 15°cooler than nighttime predicted
low. A great night of observing is ahead!
Observatory opens at 7:30pm with Saturn in the
eyepiece. |

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.
