Our next star party is scheduled for Saturday, September 8th 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.

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

Cloud/rain make-up date is Saturday, September 15th.

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.
