Observatory will open at 6:45 PM
The forecast for this evening is mostly clear skies
early. We are going to open the observatory a little
early to view Saturn, then we'll continue with the rest
of the observing list. The extended forecast calls for
cloudy skies for our scheduled star party on Saturday,
so this may be our last chance to see Saturn this year.
Observatory will open at 6:45 PM |

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.
