You and your family and friends are invited to our stargazing event to celebrate the INTERNATIONAL OBSERVE THE MOON NIGHT on Saturday, October 4, FROM 7:30 PM to 11 PM.
The fun and FREE event will be at Sherrill Brook Park’s main parking lot in New Hartford, NY, Route 12 S.
Members of the Mohawk Valley Astronomical Society will have our telescopes set up on the northwest corner of the main parking lot to observe the Moon, Saturn, and many other objects in the awesome night sky. Please note: The event is weather permitting.
