Thompson Park 2023-03-24

Hi folks!

If the forecast holds up, I'll be heading to Thompson Park tomorrow night 2023-03-24 to image a galaxy or two, and get some last-minute visual on the Westering Winter Targets.

A waxing crescent moon will also be tantalisingly close to Uranus, according to Stellarium, and the thin crescent will mean that we have a fighting chance of actually catching a glimpse of 天王星.

I'll be coming from the Plateau, so there'll be much traffic to fight through, but I hope to be there before it gets dark. If the forecast goes sour tomorrow, then I'll change the topic to NOGO.

Assuming a GO, I'll be there too! 🙂

We're looking at clear in the evening, with some clouds coming in before 10pm. Maybe not enough time to get in any serious deep sky imaging, but the moon/uranus conjunction and possible aurorae might still make it worthwhile!
