Public
Observing Event
at
the ACA Observatory
Impromptu Event!
These "Impromptu" events are scheduled whenever
conditions allow - generally on week-nights, but not
always. Our Observatory Director decides when and
if weather conditions appear cooperative...no telling
when
that will occur so watch for these events to be announced on
the home page and follow the links provided there, or on the
2016 Yearly Calendar of Events
Ron, our Observatory Director, will let us know
what his targets will be
for these event. There are always a huge
range of objects available for us
to see regardless of the time of year.
Then there are the occasional un-expected celestial events: novas, supernovas,
near-earth asteroids,
comets...for which we can't plan early in the
year. If any of these odd
events happen to coincide with nice weather,
we'll be here to show them
to you. Also, we have solar events during
clear warm summer days.
Usually 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.
