SUMMARY:Naked Eye Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:The skies of autumn provide us with a nice assortment of stars and constellations to view. Additionally rising on the eastern horizon\, the Summer Triangle asterism will still be visible too. We plan a tour of some well known constellations and stars and discuss the myths and stories for which many are named. We will also view the Milky Way which will be high overhead on this date. And then we will attempt to locate the most distant object the human eye can see without the aid of telescopes. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31)\, located 2.5 million light years from Earth\, ought to be in prime viewing position for us on this evening. \nNo need to bring binoculars or telescopes\, this is “Naked Eye Astronomy”. Do bring a comfortable lawn chair\, warm clothes maybe even a blanket and gloves. \nWe will meet inside the workshop at Mohican Farm at 7:00 for a brief overview of what we hope to see and answer any questions. We then head outside and let our eyes acclimate for a glorious evening of star gazing. \nAfter the program\, which should last 45min. – an hour\, we will return inside for hot chocolate. \nStargazing is best with 100% clear and dark skies. The program will be postponed until November 2nd if Jim Hill deems the skies and weather unfavorable on the 1st \n  \nRegister with OCCA online https://www.occainfo.org/calendar/naked-eye-astronomy-2

Hawkwatch. He is past chair of the Audubon Council of NY State\, and past president of the NY State Ornithological Assoc.
