Love the “atmosphere” Second visit & love it! Will be back again!
The green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is in the news as possibly visible to the naked eye. Well, probably not, but you might get a good view through binoculars 👍 For our friends near Jamestown, NY and Warren, PA, you can try to view the comet through January - weather permitting 🌨. Here is a position chart through the end of the month. Note this chart shows star positions about 1:00AM looking Northeast. Let us know if you spot it 🔭 ... See MoreSee Less
Somehow, member, Tom Traub, found breaks in the clouds to recently capture a couple of astro-images. The much talked-about Comet C2022E3 ZTF is definitely green! This is the "actual" color. You can see that the comet was the center of focus while images were captured as Red, Green, Blue with luminosity (LRGB). This causes the stars to trail colors while keeping the comet centered and providing the color. The other image is the the Orion Nebula (M42) - part of the "sword" hanging from Orion's Belt in the Winter constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye. Tom has managed to capture the amazing colors and subtleties of this nebula. Images were taken through the observatory's Martz 24" and the Takahashi 5" telescopes. 👍🔭 ... See MoreSee Less

Nice job Tom! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Snoopy is back on Earth. For the Artemis I mission, he acted as a zero gravity indicator- i.e. when he floats around, it's zero gravity! His space suit is made up of actual materials used for human astronauts. Not his first time in space as he also got to catch a ride on the Space shuttle Columbia in 1990 during the STS-32 mission. ... See MoreSee Less
