Greetings, fellow astrophiles!
This week’s “Stargazing In Upstate New York” article is up at syracuse.com and newyorkupstate.com (and posted a little too late here).

We continue the push for the solar eclipse on the 21st, including a list of scheduled events around the CNY area (and a bit beyond). The Persieds peak as of the next posting, although the moon will wash out much of the splendor of this meteor shower.
Below is a list of scheduled lecture and observing opportunities around Upstate New York for the eclipse – this list will be reproduced in the following articles and will hopefully be added to as other locations announce events. If you know of an event not listed, please send an email with details. As always around here, we can only hope for clear skies!
