Stargazing Tonight - Saturday January 28th

It's gonna be cold and mostly clear tonight. Chris is planning on setting up between 6:30 and 7:00.
If you head out dress for the weather, it hasn't been real cold this winter but 27 degrees isn't anything to sneeze at.

No Stargazing at Stonelick, but we might see an Aurora between the cloudsOf course the clouds are parked over Cincinnati and we've got a chance of see

Of course the clouds are parked over Cincinnati and we've got a chance of seeing an Aurora tonight. If the skies clear look toward the North after dark.

From Spaceweather.com :
Active sunspot 1401 erupted on Jan. 19th around 16:30 UT, producing an M3-class solar flare and a full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME). The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the cloud expanding almost directly toward Earth:Their forecast predicts an impact on Jan. 21st at 22:30 UT (+/- 7 hrs).

No stargazing tonight

The clouds are back, again.
New moon weekends are probably jinxed & we might have to resort to emailing folks on the few clear nights this season.
Throughout the week if you'd be interested in notices or updates for observing opportunities send me an email & I'll add you to the list.
The address is stonelickstargazing@gmail.com

Sat. Nov. 5th - clear skies

Folks are going out around 7:00 Saturday night to observe the Moon & Jupiter. The Clear Sky Clock looks great and we're even supposed to have mild temps. It's a combination that's too hard to pass up.

Stargazing @ Stonelick Saturday Oct 22nd

It's looking like mostly clear skies and cold.
The cold part of the forecast, low in the 30's, seems brutal but in three months we'll be looking back on the nice nights above freezing.

The Orionid meteor shower peaks this weekend & the Moon won't be up till 3am.
Sunset's earlier - twilight is around 7:15~7:30 ( that's a good time to set up )

If you're going out, drop me a note & I can update folks.
