Greetings, fellow astrophiles!
The cloud cover in CNY is currently “ish,” with enough open pockets and thin edges to make solar observing possible, if not reasonable (hence the late call on the official session announcement). The Marcellus Library How-To Fair will last from 6 to 8 p.m., but the treeline will likely end the solar session by 7:30.
And I’ve been told the library is providing free ice cream. Bring your Perseid questions!
This is also a busy week for CNYO. Check out our additional sessions this week on our official August announcement.
Marcellus Free Library is hosting a How-To Fair this evening. Like the same session we ran a solar session at for Liverpool Public Library, this event will host several local organizations showing how to do any of a number of activities. To this session, Bob Piekiel will be hosting a Solar Viewing Session (weather-permitting). I’ve still several pairs of solar glasses available from our International SUNDay attempt that I’ll be giving away to attendees.
