by |Published

Today Raymond Dague our Observatory Director was interviewed by News Channel 9 regarding the total solar eclipse happening one month from today. Being in the path of totality is “something you that you carry for the rest of your life” as Ray says in the interview. Here is a link to it below.

The path of totality will not pass over our observatory in Tully but for many of us living in the Syracuse Area it does. If you are just outside totality it is highly recommended that you make plans to be somewhere in the path on eclipse day. Even better would be a place with clear skies, if you are able to do so. An interactive map with the eclipse path can be found here.

He has always had an interest in space, and a passion for the night time sky, ever since he first looked at the rings of Saturn, through his telescope, in the backyard at his parents house. Eventually he was able to visit a sky dark enough to see the Milky Way and the rest is history. During the day he works as Technical Manager at a laboratory in Liverpool, NY. However at night if it’s clear you can very often find him at DHO pointing his telescope to the sky.
