Skyscraper Activities Skyscrapers, Inc. holds regular meetings, usually on the first Friday of each month, at Seagrave Memorial Observatory. During the winter months meetings are held off-site when the grounds are inaccessible. Meetings begin at 8 pm and consist of a business meeting and a special program. Programs include topics that are of interest to the beginner and the experienced amateur. Past programs have covered a wide range of topics, including observing techniques, space exploration, astrophotography, telescopes, astrophysics, and planetary geology.
Guests are always welcome.
In addition to regular monthly meetings, Skyscrapers, Inc. conducts star parties and workshops for members. Ready access to the society's reflecting telescopes and loan of the 10-inch reflector is available to all members in good standing. Each fall, usually the first Saturday of October, Skyscrapers, Inc. hosts AstroAssembly. This event brings together amateur astronomers from all over the New England area and has been a tradition for over 40 years. We present an array of speakers from the astronomical community as well as a variety of activities of interest to all participants.
