John Rush is relatively new to the hobby of Astronomy. He has always had an interest in space, and a passion for the night time sky, ever since he first looked at the rings of Saturn, through his telescope, in the backyard at his parents house. Eventually he was able to visit a sky dark enough to see the Milky Way and the rest is history. During the day he works as Technical Manager at a laboratory in Liverpool, NY. However at night if it’s clear you can very often find him at DHO pointing his telescope to the sky.

Tonight’s Public Observing Session 8/24

SAS members, The weather looks like we should get a few hours of observing time tonight, so our public observing session is on. Come and gaze at through our 16” Cave telescope, or look through our members telescope on the lawn. We should be able to see the rings of Saturn tonight. We’ll also have an EAA presentation as well. Be aware we still have two stumps on the lawn, to the right as you drive up. There are parking cones on them for visibility.
