Join us for the 12th annual Star Viewing Party at Saugerties High School! On Friday, December 6, at 5:00 p.m., we’ll gather to explore the night sky with telescopes and insights from Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association experts. We are looking forward to seeing the moon, planets, and maybe even a meteor or two!
