Tonight the public forecast calls for "partly cloudy," and the Clear Sky Chart suggests not entirely transparent skies, but steady seeing. I'm going to anticipate a good viewing evening from the corner of Myrtle & Lime and try setting up a telescope. Sunset is at 7:03, and we'll try to be there from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. We'll have a lovely gibbous moon, and Jupiter near opposition. With a good seeing forecast, I'm going to plan to bring out the giant 7-inch refractor -- a special treat. It should be pleasant weather, a little chilly, light winds.
