Comet Ison Viewing UPDATE!

Comet Ison Viewing UPDATE!

Friday morning is looking CLOUDY so we won't observe on that morning.

Saturday however is forecast to be CLEAR! If you can make it to OCC at 5:15 / 5:30 am , then you should! I will be there at 5:00 am to setup (you're welcome to come early too).

Clear skies forecast for Saturday morning at 5:00 am. Temperature will be between 28-32 degrees F, and
humidity a little high which will make the transparency below average, but we should be okay.

We will meet on the Orchard Lake side of campus, by M-Building where the traffic circle and flag pole is. There's the short term parking lot (Parking LOT 5) where you can park.  We will probably stand at one of the traffic islands there marked by the red star on the map below

Map of OCC-OR. Meet at red marker - park in LOT 5.


Please dress for the weather, it will be cold, but comet Ison is now visible with the naked eye so it's worth it! Hope to see some of you there! (There will be coffee / hot chocolate, donuts, and a bunch of binoculars and telescopes)
