DATE COULD SHIFT BASED ON WEATHER– The Milky Way is returning, now arching across the eastern horizon. It will rise higher and higher in the sky all night long, and each successive week it will rise earlier and earlier. Along with it, Scorpius and Sagittarius prepare to steal the summer show. If the weather goes against us, we will move the event to the closest clear night and notify you.
We have several different telescopes that are on display including a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain housed in a permanent observatory. Inside the observatory, you can watch deep sky objects grow in detail and full color on a wall-mounted monitor. Public sessions are co-facilitated by one or more of our talented cohort enthusiasts: Mark Borton, Roger Charbonneau Jr, Jon Dean, Scott Mallory, Parag Sahasrabudhe and Alan Sheiness, and members of the Thames Amateur Astronomical Society (TAAS) including Jay Drew and John Natale. 
Upon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. For questions or comments, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org. Young or old, experienced or totally unfamiliar, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme.
And if you have a telescope, we encourage you to bring it out. The more, the merrier. Just follow the guidelines in the pdf you receive when you RSVP.
Clear skies!
