The skies are slowly clearing from the west and hope clearing will reach observatory by star party time. Crescent Moon and many nice star clusters
to view. Because of cold weather, observatory will be open from 8:00pm
to 10:00pm. Observatory will close early if skies do not clear.

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.
