I plan on going by the observatory tonight around 9pm

Weather looks like it will be good for some observing.

May look for some stars that have exoplanets orbiting around them if I'm bored, depending on who is out there. We won't see the planet of course since it's orbiting another star, but we would see the star corresponding to the planet.

The following is a screenshot with the weather forecast for tonight.

Likely to be out there until 11 pm or so if all goes as planned. We may of course look at other objects depending on what other club members and visitors feel like viewing. Saturn and Mars can have pretty views when conditions are good. Saturn is usually appreciated the most by visitors.

No underaged children are allowed in the observatory without their parent or a school teacher, etc. Faac members don't open up the observatory for minors unless it's a school activity, and normally that means Leo Mcmaster is there.

I may invite a friend and her kids to the observatory tonight, but she's the parent of her kids. This is how the rules work for our observatory.

Perhaps someday soon well have more teachers involved and have the observatory open for student events more often.
