Greetings, fellow astrophiles! We have decided to try to make something of this weekend’s Public Observing Session and will be opening Darling Hill tonight around 7:30 p.m. It will be cold and still partly overcast, but we hope the clouds keep to a minimum to allow us to reclaim some of the observing time lost over the last few completely overcast weekends. Again, dress for extra-cold conditions. You will be the only source of heat at the observatory tonight, so try to keep as much of it for yourself as you can. NOTE: Those of you present (or looking North-West) […]

Greetings fellow astrophiles, We are 0-for-2 this session, but are being spared the snowfall despite not being spared the considerable cloud cover. We hope to still schedule at least one more session in short order in expectation of November not being reasonable for observing. Stay tuned!
Greetings fellow astrophiles, The weather is not on our side this evening, with small patches of light blue surrounded by considerable higher haze and dark clouds. As the predictability of reasonable conditions tonight is in question, we will not be opening for tonight. Worse still, tomorrow looks similarly bad, but we will keep track of conditions and hope for changes in the forecasts.
Greetings fellow astrophiles! Image from www.waymarking.com. The SAS is hosting a lecture/observing session at Beaver Lake Nature Center next Wednesday, Oct. 19 (with a rain date of Friday, Oct. 21). We don’t observe with Syracuse to our South very often, so hopefully the tree line is low enough to give us clear new views of our Northern Horizon. Pre-registration is required and the event is free. We hope you can join us! Details, directions, and the registration link can be found at: www.parkscalendar.com/events/detail/20111019/33/26/1/0/0/2348
