The night sky on Thursday was relatively clear for students from the Marshall University Astronomy Club (MUAC). They were able to set up a variety of their donated telescopes for club members and community members passing by to view the night sky (they set-up their Sky Watcher Dobsonian, Meade LX200, and Celestron C6). Mars and the color bands of Jupiter were seen along with 4 of its prominent moons. Additionally, amazingly detailed images of the moon’s surface were seen with the high magnification of the LX200. Check out the group on Herdlink.
