All, Tonight’s public session (7/26) at the Darling Hill Observatory is on. Come and enjoy the views through our 16” telescope in the chartroom, or sit out in the lawn and look at the Milky Way! Members will also have scopes setup on the lawn, and we’ll have an EAA presentation in the chatroom. Please dress warmly as the temperatures do get cool on the hill. Sunset is at 8:32 PM so it’s best to arrive after that. Special Note: We have two tree stumps on the lawn to your right near the entrance. Cones are placed on the stumps […]

On Saturday July 13th the Syracuse Astronomical Society was hosted by the town of Skaneateles for a star party. We had approximately 50 members of the public come and observe though the telescopes of our members and watch the EAA presentation’s given by Tony and Jeff. On the lawn we had Joe F doing AP, and Mike Z., John R., Adam D., and Alex J. showing various objects. We observed a conjunction of the star Spica and the Moon which later on after we left would occult, as well as a pass of the International Space Station.
SAS Members, The weather conditions and predictions are still un-setttled for tonight, however it does look like we might get a few hours of clear skies around 11:00PM based on the latest predictions. As such please join us for tonights member session but don’t have your hopes too high. Also please be read carefully the following message from Jeff as we recently had some trees taken down on the lawn. As Members and your Guests reach the top of the driveway, they should drive to the LEFT (south) side of the circular hedge row and head toward the lower (domed) observatory […]
SAS Members, Due to poor weather expected, tonight’s member session is postponed until tomorrow July 6th. Tomorrow’s weather predictions are also marginal right now so an official announcement will be made tomorrow. Thank you, John
