Observing Event

Impromptu Event!
The weather for Tuesday 9/20 looks good for an impromptu
star party. Let's tentatively schedule a star party from
7:30 PM
to 9:45pm. This time of year is good for observing globular
clusters, Messier objects in the constellation Sagittarius,
and
a few remarkable open clusters like the Wild Duck &
Herschel's Double Cluster. |

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.
