Sept 14 Make-up Session
September 14, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
FreeCARPOOL IF YOU CAN. TIGHT ON PARKING. As fall approaches, galaxy-rich Virgo gives way to the Milky Way arching high overhead. Saturn is up at dusk, and Jupiter rises late 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
- 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.
Clear skies!
