NEWS & FEATURES

Jupiter Season is now in Full Swing!

Wes Greenman chart of Apr 11th Io-B stormWe hope you can join us and observe Jupiter for this season -- the season runs until November 2009. We would like to note that we have even had success observing Jupiter well after sunrise; the reason is that the Sun is so quiet right now. We will have coordinated observing sessions in the future to help you with you observations. Stay tuned for these announcements.
