Thursday 9/30/2010 - open tonight 8:00-9:30 pm

This time of year a clear dark sky in the hand is worth two in the forecast... and there's that comet up there (103P Hartley) that I couldn't find last time but might be an easier target now. So,

The Observatory will be open from 8:00-9:30 pm tonight. (If more than 8 visitors show up, we will split that into 2 sessions.)

Should be a good night for Andromeda, perhaps the Lagoon or Swan Nebula, Jupiter, and, with any luck, the comet.

Friday Sept. 24 - open tonight 8-10

We have a forecast of "partly cloudy", but there's a big fat moon tonight, along with Jupiter, and both of those are bright enough that we should get some decent looks even if we have to peek between some clouds.

There's also supposed to be a comet up there near Cassiopeia - I haven't seen it yet, but worth a try. So...

There will be 2 viewing sessions tonight; up to 8 people per session:
8:00-8:50
9:00-9:50

Please remember to wear good shoes for climbing up the steep ladders in the dark - no sandals, please!
