[Chaos-l] Good Conditions Tuesday Night

[Robert Nielsen]

Everyone,

I know it's a "school night" ... but the Clear Sky Clock for Tuesday night is looking especially good!   If you have a chance, you might want to get out and check out something in the night sky ... even if it is only the Double Double in Lyra.

Last Saturday night at Medoc, I brought my refractor to try to see some dark nebulae.  But when I pointed it at the Double Double, I was awestruck!   The sky was very still, each star in the wider pair split into another perfectly clear pair, and I could clearly see the magnitude difference in Epsilon1.   Perhaps I was hallucinating, but the magnitude difference also translated into a slight color difference.   It was easily the best I've seen it in that scope.
