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

The forecast for Monday evening is for clear
skies so let's plan
for an impromptu star party Monday evening
starting at 9:00pm.
Come out to view globular clusters tonight.
These star clusters contain
tens of thousands
of stars in an area less than a 100 light-years across.
We’ll examine M5, M53, M13, M92, and M3 and
discuss globular cluster classification
The observatory will open at 9:00pm this evening
Please dress appropriately for expected
temperature conditions. |

Jet Stream (updates

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.
