Wed 20 Oct 2010 - open 7-9 pm

From the forecast, this may be our last clear night for a while.
The Observatory will be open for 2 viewings tonight:
7:00 pm
8:00 pm

Lots of moonlight, so we'll probably concentrate on the Moon & Jupiter.
We should be in the Orionid meteor shower, so keep an eye out for shooting stars

Wed Oct. 13 - open tonight

Forecast is for a fairly clear night - the Observatory will be open for 2 viewings:
7:30 pm
8:30 pm
We'll have Jupiter, a nice first-quarter Moon, and see what else we can find - and we'll try again for Comet 103P-Hartley, it's getting a little brighter all the time,so maybe we'll have better luck!

Bring binoculars if you have them!

Sat. 10/2/10 - open tonight 8-10

Forecast is "partly cloudy" - but there's a lot of clear sky up there now.
The observatory will be open for viewing sessions at 8:00 and 9:00.
(Possibly a 10:00 session if the clouds haven't taken over the sky by then.)

We should get fine views of Jupiter, and it should be a pretty good evening for some of the deep-sky objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the Hercules Cluster.

We haven't yet been able to find Comet 103P-Hartley - but we'll keep trying; it should be brightening daily until mid-October.
