The third article in the series – "Stargazing in Upstate NY in September: Look for more subtle objects on autumn nights" – is available for your reading and critical review at newyorkupstate.com and syracuse.com. I'm pleased to report that we've hit our stride with the formatting and content transfer, and I can only hope the star charts make sense in their current forms.
For interested parties, this article also marks the first official mention (to the best of my knowledge) of our upcoming MOST/TACNY/CNYO hosting of International Observe The Moon Night on Saturday, October 8th. Additional details to follow, but expect the observing to happen somewhere around The MOST itself.
Extra-special thanks to Nick Lamendola from the Astronomy Section of the Rochester Academy of Science (image above, taken from the grounds of my new observing stomping grounds at the Farash Center – click for a larger view) for the use of his Perseid composite as the article opener (one of the benefits of being a member of several local clubs is the listserve content – and the many fantastic images that fly by on a weekly basis).
