Halley's Comet Pictures

Don't know if anyone reads this blog, but if you do, and you're interested, I posted a few shots I took of Halley's Comet on my hiking blog. It's here.

Possible Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy on December 18

A couple of the regular Monrovia group has said they plan to be at Myrtle and Lime on Saturday, December 18. The weather forecast for that night is not looking very good, however, so I would definitely monitor the skies before heading out there.

Revised December Sidewalk

No telescopes in Pasadena this month.

Monrovia, only. December 11. Still coordinating on the times, but probably from around 6pm - 8pm.

December Sidewalk Dates

Old Town Astronomers hasn't posted their sidewalk dates, but judging by the calendar, you should expect them to be in Pasadena (Colorado, near Delacey) on Friday, December 10, and in Monrovia (Myrtle and Lime) on Saturday, December 11. Expect telescopes from around 5pm until 8pm on both nights (longer if we're busy).

Jupiter is marching quickly across the night sky. It's now more or less due south by shortly after dark and setting towards the west by late evening.

If you get up before twilight, the amazingly bright "star" you see to the southeast is Venus.
