On the day of this event, please check the SAS’s FB page before coming out. They will be watching the forecast and will make a decision on whether to hold the session tonight, postpone it, or cancel it entirely.

When the decision is made, they will make an announcement on their Facebook page.

Join us as we head out to Tully to the Darling Hill Observatory to spend a few hours looking at the night sky with the Syracuse Astronomical Society using their 16 inch observatory scope. All are welcome!

The Syracuse Astronomical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about astronomy, preserving a national heritage – the night sky, and exploring the splendors of our universe.

A note from the SAS:

For those who are planning to attend the stargazing event at Darling Hill, drive up the driveway and park on the lawn. We usually start setting up about an hour before sunset.

Please dress warmly! Darling Hill is at a higher elevation so it does get colder than you might expect for the summertime. Dress in layers and bring a warm jacket. long pants with socks & hiking shoes are highly recommended to reduce the risk of ticks. Bring a comfortable chair or a blanket if you plan to sit out under the stars.

Rain/cloud date: Saturday, October 7. Check their Facebook page for cancellations before heading out! https://www.facebook.com/groups/100618404233
