Message from Frosty Drew They predict excellent star gazing for Friday, October 17 at the observatory in Ninigret Park Tonights weather is calling for mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with possibly hazy conditions. The 24% waning crescent Moon will rise at 1:59 a.m. offering us super dark skies for our prime viewing times. Haze may keep spectacular viewing on hold, though excellent views will still be had. We plan to open the Observatory and Sky Theatre at 7:00 p.m. In the Sky Theatre a slideshow of astrophotos taken at Frosty Drew will be on display for those looking to kick back and relax. In the Observatory we will focus our telescopes on some of the fabulous deep sky objects visible this season, including the M13, M2, M15, and M92 globular clusters; the M57 and M27 planetary nebulae; and the fabled Andromeda Galaxy. Temperatures should be warmer than usual, making for a great night of stargazing under the Charlestown, RI starscape. Get out there Rhode Island and enjoy a relaxing night under the stars at Frosty Drew.
