January 25, 2025 Astronomy Observing Session
January 25, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
DATE COULD SHIFT BASED ON WEATHER– After our December hiatus, observing is back! Orion, Gemini and Taurus dominate the night sky, and Jupiter shines brightly high overhead.
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 growing cadre of astronomy cohorts: Mark Borton, Roger Charbonneau Jr, Jon Dean, Jay Drew, Scott Mallory, John Natale, Lee Polikoff, Parag Sahasrabudhe, Mark Strollo and Alan Sheiness.
Upon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. For questions or comments, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org. Young or old, experienced or totally unfamiliar, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme.
And if you have a telescope, we encourage you to bring it out. The more, the merrier. Just follow the guidelines in the pdf you receive when you RSVP.
Clear skies!
