John Rush is relatively new to the hobby of Astronomy. 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.

April’s Public Observing Session

On Friday April 26th we held  a successful public observing session at that Darling Hill Observatory. Over 70 people came to look at objects through the our Cave reflector hosted by Mike Brady and our observatory director Ray Dague. Also inside our chartroom Jeff Higgins and Tony Krishock were giving EAA presentations to the many guests as well.  We also had a very large number of people out on the field.
