Naked Eye Astronomy

Event Navigation
November is a beautiful month for stargazing! The skies are darker, and it’s that magic time before winter begins. Dazzling planets are on display this month, with Jupiter and Saturn views!
Join the Otsego County Conservation Association to explore a number of constellations, asterisms and possibly view the most distant object visible with the naked eye…The Andromeda Galaxy.  Jim Hill will be the leader for a night of Naked Eye Astronomy at Mohican Farm.
About 6,000 stars are visible to the naked eye when you can achieve the darkest conditions. Naked-eye astronomy refers to studying the night sky without the aid of any optic device like binoculars or a telescope.
Please, bring comfortable folding chairs and dress warmly! We will meet before the presentation in the workshop on site and then return indoors afterward for hot chocolate. Free!
Stargazing is best with 100% clear and dark skies. The program will be postponed until November 11th if Jim Hill deems the skies and weather unfavorable on the 4th.
