Re: HRPO Evening Sky Viewing, 2022
Tonight's lecture is "The X-Planes"; the speaker is BREC Program Aide James DeOliveira. The front gate and main building will be open at 7:15pm, and the talk begins at 7:30pm.
Below is the NOAA forecast for HRPO's planned viewing time of 8:30pm to 10pm...
precipitation potential, 0%
sky cover, 3%
relative humidity, 58%
temperature, 16˚C
surface wind, N 8 km/h
Danko's Clear Dark Sky states that during HRPO's viewing time the transparency rating will be "transparent" (5 out of 5) and the seeing rating will be "average" (3 out of 5). The 20OGS operator will be BREC Center Supervisor Jordan Cobbs.
Peat predicts two visible passes from the viewpoint of HRPO grounds...
*OBJECT-B (probably an H-IIA 202), magnitude 0.4 beginning at 8:35pm
*Lacrosse 5, magnitude 2.1 beginning at 9:22pm
Also, for those who bring binoculars, Peat predicts nine STARLINKs moving through the sky from 8:31pm to 9:02pm at magnitudes of 3.5 and 3.4. They will be heading mostly from the west to the east, peaking in the southeast. Binocular users should scan eighty-five to eighty-nine degrees altitude to increase the chance of spotting many of these STARLINKs.
HRPO will be open until 10pm. The 25 March 2022 rating is...
