Comet Ison would be a tempting morning target, but weather will be horrible
Ison will be positioned close to Mars, and the Leo triplet Saturday morning.
Unfortunately we will have 60 percent cloud cover and winds gusting up to 45 mph in Lincoln Park, so the observatory won't be open at 4 or 5 am to try to image the comet.

I'm a member of the FAAC Astronomy Club. We provide technical aid for the Hector J Robinson Observatory in Lincoln Park Michigan.
The original observatory was refurbished in 2009 thanks to the help of Dr. Timothy Dey who had a vision to reopen and fix up the observatory and Leo McMaster who is a middle school teacher at the middle school. We have new equipment installed at the observatory thanks to a grant from Toshiba and more info can be found here an on other sites on the net.
STUDYING DECAY PROFILE I'm just a guy with a little digital camera. Taking a few quick photos once in a while. I work in Detroit, live near Detroit. Detroit area, easy to slam I suppose. I'm focusing on decay, but not trying to make this a Detroit is all bad blog. However there's a heck of a lot that is messed up in Detroit. So most like to get out and never look back. Those who stay or try to help, are faced with huge and often overwhelming problems. Massive growth and now massive decline followed with a lot of crime and poverty.
