March Meeting

Five members of Skyscrapers traveled to New Mexico for the first of two solar eclipses occurring within a year: a beautiful annular eclipse. Led by Rick Lynch, Denise Turco, Jim Hendrickson, Francine Jackson and Mercedes Rivero-Hudec set up, with hundreds of others, including former Skyscrapers Jack Szelka and his wife Ileen from Arizona, at the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque for the event. The balcony of the Monument had a perfect sightline, and telescopes and cameras were easily set up.

Solar Eclipse Observing

It’s April, the month everyone has been anxiously awaiting. Wishing clear skies for all those traveling to see totality and for those staying home to view a partial eclipse. Seagrave will be open with minimal staff on Monday, April 8, from 2-4:30 PM. We will have solar eclipse glasses available and, hopefully, a solar telescope or two. If you are available, please stop by.
