Globe at Night Update #1

13 March, 2010 (14:20) | Observing | By: Steve Bieger

We’ve been accumulating data for GLOBE at Night over the past 10 days. Theo has been using the Sky Quality Meter and getting a variety of readings in the general vicinity of Charlie Elliot, Social Circle and Mansfield. I have more qualitative data from around the Atlanta area, both at home in Chamblee and also at Fernbank Science Center.

Clouds and weather have impacted at least 5 days and the seeing has been fair to poor most nights. But I still get mag 3 or 4 in the city area. Theo is getting lots of mag 6 readings out there in the country. More to come in the coming week. We can do another round in the second half of March.

Next update will cover our submitted data in more detail.
