For North American observers, today's http://spaceweather.com/ is touting tonight as an observing period to potentially see lunar meteor strikes. Also they give a link to this interesting ALPO website that catalogues ALPO Lunar Section - Meteoritic Impacts reports. http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/%7Erhill/alpo/lunarstuff/lunimpacts.html This site includes a how-to guide for photographing lunar meteor impacts. The IMO lists two minor meteor shower peaks for 7/28, but earlier in the day, the Piscis Austrinids (PAU) and the Southern delta-Aquarids (SDA). http://www.imo.net/calendar/2006/summer Tonight's approx. 3.6 day old Moon (terminator at E45.6 at 4 UTC 7/29) should provide a good opportunity to see strong earthshine. Sky & Telescope is listing a Jovian Great Red Spot transit for 7/29 3:26 UTC (7/28 9:26 MDT) http://skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/planets/article_107_1.asp - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
