What's Up in Tonight's Sky?
Join us for an exciting program, "What's up in Tonight's Sky?" hosted by the New Hampshire Astronomical Society in the Periodical Room, followed by a captivating Skywatch in Library Park, where you can explore the wonders of the night sky. Don’t miss this opportunity to gaze through telescopes at various celestial objects! The Skywatch is designed to be beginner-friendly, ensuring that everyone, from novices to seasoned stargazers, has an enjoyable and educational experience.
General Rules for public skywatches
- Watch your step - Be especially careful of wires on the ground.
- Park Carefully - Try to park so that your headlights and back-up lights won’t interfere with the observers.
- No Smoking - Smoke damages telescope optics.
- Red Flashlights - No white lights. A red light will not ruin your night vision as much as white light will. You can cover the lens of a regular light with red plastic or tail-light repair tape. A dim light will seem bright once your eyes become dark-adapted.
- No Flash Photography - The bright flash of a camera can wreck everyone's night vision.
- Stay Warm - Few people realize just how chilly it gets late at night, even in summer, particularly when you are standing still under a clear sky. Bring about twice as much warm clothing as you think you'll need. In summer, a light and heavy jacket, warm shirt, jeans. Winter calls for insulated boots, thermal underwear, corduroy jeans, parka, flannel shirt, gloves, and, very important, a warm knit cap!
