GETTING TO KNOW THE BIG DIPPER With the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere comes the culmination of the northern sky’s most recognized asterism, the Big Dipper. This familiar group of seven stars is notable for having a clear resemblance to its namesake (it is easy to imagine it forming the shape of a large spoon), but how much do you really know about theBig Dipper?
8-INCH ALVAN CLARK REFRACTOR 8-inch Alvan Clark Refractor. The telescope that sits atop the silo-like structure at Seagrave Memorial Observatory is the pride and joy of the Skyscrapers organization. It is a refractor with a lens 8 - inches in diameter and a focal length of 105 inches, providing an f-ratio of about 13. CAN YOU FIND A QUASAR? (YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED) Readers having 8” or larger telescopes might wish to observe a quasar, provided you can follow a detailed finder chart and manage to isolate a 12.8 magnitude object that looks exactly like a star, but actually is not. Rather it’s the brightest known quasar and, at a distance of 2.5 billion light years, will be by far and away the most distant thing in the universe most of you will ever see OBSERVING THE FIRST QUARTER MOON Though the Moon reaches first quarter on September 22, you may begin observing it anytime after new moon on the 15th. If you get a chance to observe each night, you'll see new features emerge from lunar night into sunlight.

March 2020 : By Steve HubbardDue to the outbreak of coronavirus, Seagrave Memorial Observatory will remain closed to the public until further notice. While we feel that the overall risk is very low, this action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. Many of our volunteers who donate their time to show the public the wonders of the universe fall into the more senior, higher risk category for this disease and their protection as well as that of all of our members and visitors is our utmost concern.
