Lyme Land Trust Astronomy Night

DATE COULD SHIFT BASED ON WEATHER– After our December hiatus, observing is back! Orion, Gemini and Taurus dominate the night sky, and Jupiter shines brightly high overhead.

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 hosted by Alan Sheiness and co-facilitated by one or more of our growing cadre of experienced astronomy cohorts.

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 on this page: https://www.lymelandtrust.org/astronomy-event/january-25-2025-astronomy-observing-session/

Directions to site available after RSVP. 

Clear skies!
