Dear Colleagues,
Sky Watch session : Saturday, November 11, 2017 during 7-9 PM at school ground.
Last week we had a brief viewing of Saturn followed by the Moon which was almost full and was high up in the sky by the time Saturn had set. The sky has become clearer in the past week and hopefully we will have a clearer sky this Saturday. We will continue with viewing Saturn and we will should be able to resolve its rings if clear skies persist. Saturn with its rings at maximum tilt towards the Earth makes it a great view on clear sky nights. After Saturn sets (by about 8 PM) we hope to spot the Lagoon Nebula which lies in the constellation Sagittarius. A brief write up on Saturn is attached.
With best regards,
Secretary
RRCAT Staff Club
Note : If you interested in viewing Saturn and its rings, please come before 8 PM after checking that the sky is clear. The planet sets by 8 PM.
