I wish you all a good and beautiful observation.
I planned to observe the event by taking the telescope to an altitude of 2500m on Mount Aquila in the Gran Sasso d’Italia. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is not favourable. Here in the valley (L’Aquila city) it has been thunderstorms and hail for a few days, and on the high peaks even worse. I will stay on the terrace at home, God send me good luck.
Pictured is the panorama from the summit of Monte Aquila. Below, the two domes of the Abruzzo astronomical observatory (at an altitude of 2120 m)
