Greetings fellow astrophiles, The currently hazy and muggy conditions in CNY are expected to turn into overcast conditions tonight, so we will not be opening the Observatory. As tomorrow night is looking even less promising than tonight, this may be a Public Viewing Weekend wash, in which case we may consider using one of the nights next weekend as a make-up Public Viewing session. Check back tomorrow just in case, otherwise stay tuned next Friday for more updates.

Greetings fellow astrophiles, The SAS is hosting a group at Darling Hill tonight and are opening the grounds to a general Public Viewing Session. The skies look far more promising tonight than last night and several board and scope-owning members have already planned on attending. The grounds should be open by 8:00 p.m. for those interested in setting up early and exploring the Observatory Grounds. We hope you can join us!
Greetings fellow astrophiles! The clear skies predicted for tonight allow for an atypically early posting about our opening for Public Viewing. The southern skies belong to Saturn and Mars tonight, with the great band of the Milky Way rising from the East before midnight. And, for those attending the Cherry Springs Star Party this weekend in PA, Ryan Goodson and I (Damian) will be there with scopes at the ready. For those interested in coordinating with the rest of the Syracuse contingent, drop an email to [email protected] or call 559-4737 (with the Syracuse Area code). We hope you can join […]
Greetings fellow astrophile! It is looking like a near-perfect evening for nighttime observing, so we will be opening Darling Hill around 7:30 p.m. tonight. No ISS fly-bys are predicted for the next few days, but Venus, Mars, and Saturn are prominent in our sky – Saturn being particularly brilliant at its current orientation. It is also looking to be a bit on the cool side tonight (40s?), so do consider bringing an additional layer if you’re going to be up late. We hope you can join us!
