Summer Solstice Picnic, June 13, 2015

It was a beautiful day for a picnic. About 25 people attended our annual solstice picnic at Sleeping Giant State Park. There was plenty of good food and good company to go around. We even had a solar scope set up. This is a good event to see each other during the daylight and get to know everyone a little better.

Member’s Only Viewing at Ansonia Nature Center, June 13, 2015

To make the day complete, we had a successful member’s only event the night of the solstice picnic. This is where just ASNH members set up under dark skies without being a public event. We can spend the night looking for what we want to see with the added bonus of having more experienced members nearby for assistance and company. There were some scattered clouds and the dampness made us turn in about 11:30. More than a dozen members enjoyed a good night of viewing.
