Thanks for the update on the "supernova" (2004dj) in NGC2403. It has not been written-up in S&T mag to my knowledge yet, only on their website. It takes...

"You may want to change the description in the club's "August Sky" to "supernova" and not "nova" as these two events are very uniquely different. Thanks, ...
I've read that a supernova typically dims at a rate of about 2 magnitudes per month. So if this one is at peak mag 11.2 now, is it expected to be maybe 13.2 at...

Jennifer, A dark location with a view to the east would be best. We are meeting at a Parkway overlook north of Asheville, past where Town Mountain Rd. comes...
The current Clear Sky Clock shows more clouds predicted for 1-5am Thursday morning that did the clock this morning. I guess I'll play it by eye when the clock...

Most of the overlooks south on the Parkway until you get to Pisgah seem face sout east, & the radiant is in the NE, so they would be ok. We sometimes observe...
I was planning an early morning observe for meteor shower but it looks like rain showers only..will probably not attend unless drastic changes in clouds...
Well we ended up going to Craggy around 4am, poured rain the entire drive. Soon as we got to Craggy, the skies cleared, and gave us a great view east and the...
