The York County Astronomical Society (YCAS) will offer a Starwatch at its observatory at John C. Rudy County Park, 400 Mundis Race Road, York, on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 8 to 10 p.m. The public is invited. Anyone who owns a telescope and would like some assistance in using it may bring it along, too.
The evening will begin with a screened astronomical presentation on current events and the September night sky. Guests will then be guided on a tour of the sky through one of the club's telescopes. Attendees will be shown a host of celestial objects, including Saturn, Jupiter, the Hercules star clusters, Ring Nebula, and more.
While this event is free and open to the public, donations are welcome and will help YCAS continue to bring astronomical events to York County and surrounding areas.
If the sky is clear, all activities will occur as scheduled. If it is completely cloudy or raining, the indoor activity of a screen astronomical presentation will occur as scheduled. In the event of extreme weather, call 717-759-9227 for notice of cancellation or search for "York County Astronomical Society (YCAS)" on Facebook.
