How cool is that?

You can go to my Sky Tonight page and scroll down to the city links to get your personal viewing timetable OR you can go to spaceweather.com and enter your zip code or postal code and you can generate your timetable.  It’s as easy as that.

And if that ain’t enough… here is this week’s Night Sky episode too…now all you need are some clear skies and you are set ;-)
