Status updated on 3/10/2018 at 4:46 PM: Observatory will
open at 7:00 PM tonight as planned |

Radar shows clouds dissipating slowly and three
forecasts call for clear skies by 7pm. So, observatory
opens at 7:00pm. One of the beautiful winter clusters
we'll be looking at tonight is M37 in Auriga. M37 is
well-placed near zenith. |

Observing Event
at
the ACA Observatory
Impromptu Event!
It looks like a great evening for stargazing; cool
temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies.
What will we be looking at tonight?
.

Since clear skies are orecasted for tonight, it is a
great opportunity to see
the Great Orion Nebula!
This is a gem viewed through the observatory
telescope and we only have a short window at the
end of winter to see
this Messier object; other
beautiful star clusters on observing list.
Time is
7:00pm to 8:30pm due to temperature.
Final call
on star party by 5:30pm. |

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.
