Serata Urano a Starson

The evening is centered around the week in which Uranus reaches the highest point of its nighttime parabola during the opening hours of the Astronomical Center. This will be the moment when, due to the lower atmospheric turbulence, it will be possible to see it best through the telescope. The planet will be framed with all the telescopes of the Center, and with the large Dobson, it will also be possible to see some of its faint satellites. 

It will also be possible to observe the Moon, around the first quarter, with especially visible features from north to south, such as the Vallis Alpina, the craters Archimedes, Autolycus, and Aristillus, the Caucasus and Apennine Mountains, and the craters Ptolomaeus, Alphonsus, and Arzachel, Purbach, Regiomontanus, and Walther. Numerous double and multiple stars will also be visible, such as 32 Eridani, Keid, and Sigma Orionis, as well as the planet Jupiter, with its satellites and the Great Red Spot in transit.

At the planetarium, after the observation, a brief conference will be held that will outline the knowledge of the Uranus system acquired during the brief flyby of the Voyager 2 that took place in 1986.

In case of bad weather, after the conference, an explanation of the seasonal sky will take place, enriched by the viewing of numerous full dome videos.
