Westport Observatory
@WestportObservatory@vmst.io
The Westport Observatory, run by the volunteers of the Westport Astronomical Society brings the night sky down to the thousands who visit annually. We’re a non-profit that’s free and open to the public every Wednesday night from 8-10 pm if the skies are clear. We do suggest a donation of $5 per person if you're not a member. In-person or zoom lectures on the 3rd Tuesday monthly. #Astronomy #Observatory #WestportCT #WestportObservatory #nonprofit #astrophotography #WestportAstronomicalSociety

Some passing clouds, but we’re on for tonight’s WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party (2/11)! 🌌
We open after 8pm. No Moon = prime deep-sky hunting. Great views of Jupiter and Uranus in the scopes. https://was-ct.org/programs/public-viewing/

3 years ago, in January 2023, I captured this beauty, the comet C/2022 E3.
C/2022 E3 (ZTF) follows a highly elliptical orbit with a period of approximately 50,000 years. It reached its perihelion on January 12, 2023, at a distance of 1.1 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.
