The forecast calls for the clouds to hang around for
earlier evening,
then clearing; but, too far beyond our star party start
time.
As a result, our star party for tonight is
CANCELLED. |

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

The forecast for Wednesday evening is clear
skies. We plan to have a star party from 7:30pm
to 9:30pm. Mars & Saturn are well-placed for
observing with Mars showing a little more detail
as dust from storms continues to settle. Many
globular clusters and planetary nebulae are on
the observing list. |

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.
