CANCELLED- October 6 Astronomy Observing Session
October 6, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
FreeWe are sorry to cancel. The weather controls us for these events. You are encouraged to look here for possible POP-UP sessions before the next monthly session: https://www.lymelandtrust.org/astronomy-events/
Coming soon: The Milky Way remains high overhead. Saturn is well up at dusk, and Jupiter rises in the northeast.
We have several different telescopes that are on display including a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain housed in a permanent observatory. Inside the observatory, you can watch deep sky objects grow in detail and full color on a wall-mounted monitor. Public sessions are co-facilitated by one or more of our talented cohort enthusiasts:
- Mark Borton
- Roger Charbonneau, Jr
- Jon Dean
- Jay Drew
- Scott Mallory
- John Natale
- Parag Sahasrabudhe
- Alan Sheiness
Young or old, experienced or totally unfamiliar, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme. Upon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. For questions or comments, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org.
Clear skies!
