The next star party is scheduled for Saturday, July 7th at dusk at the usual spot: the Meadow Parking Lot at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Cross River, NY.  map

The summer sky is full of wonderful celestial objects: the Milky Way, open and globular clusters, double stars and nebulas. Jupiter and Saturn will be visible, although low in the southern sky.

The event is free and open to the public. Bring your own telescope or view through members’ instruments.

Rain/cloud make-up date is Saturday, July 14th.

We take the summer off. Our WAA tradition is to start the fall meeting series with Members’ Night. WAA’ers present talks on their astronomy travels, equipment, imaging techniques and observing experiences. It’s our most popular meeting and a great way to start off the academic year.
