General news
----------
December 2003 and January 2004 were the toughest NYC Events to
compile! You good folk who feed NYC Events were away on holiday,
schools where many of your meetings are held were closed for
intersession. Those events I'm reasonably sure take place in January I
put at the top of the list with the adviso to check the sponsor's
website or phone.
New York Public Library, serving Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten
Island, continue to accept book donations. I leave out the item here
because the project is now a permanent feature of the library. Please
bring to any library branch your unneeded astronomy and other books.
On December 22 the New York Chapter of National Space Society
opened its new website at www.nsschpaters.org/ny/nyc.
I welcome three newcomers to NYC Events, Brookhaven National
Laboratory, the observatory at East Stroudsburg University, and Lehigh
Valley Amateur Astronomical Society. The first has many public
lectures during the month, but most are REALLY advanced and technical.
The Lab noted that a few talks are more on the popular level so I
include one of those here.
Brookhaven is a federal atomic facility now encumbered with World
Trade Center concerns. Be SURE to bring your government-issued photo
ID with you to enter the lab's campus. Typicly this is a driver's
licence, nondriver ID card, or passport. A federal, state, or local
government employee ID is also valid. Privately issued IDs, like from
schools, businesses, clubs are not accepted.
The East Stroudsburg observatory seems to be a new facility with a
30cm Schmidt-Cassegrain scope, CCDgraphy, and computer controls. Dates
and hours are still in preparation at end December, so check with the
website or phone. The dates will also be advertised in the town's
local newspaper.
The Lehigh Valley club is a old established outfit, first seen by
me for its national convention of the Astronomical League in 1976. It
has its own edifice and observatory as headquarters on South Mountain,
Allentown PA. Its website has a map and driving instructions.

Skywatching
---------
December featured a mixed viewing of the delta Scorpii occultation
on the 21st. This occurred along the southern graze line, which cut
across the south parts of the City from northwest to southeast. At
about 06:15 EST on that winter morning, in waxing dawn, the star
skimmed the south horn of the thin crescent Moon.
Viewings were of mixed success, from wonderful to awful. Thin
cloud, air turbulance, skyline interference, automobile breakdown,
missed train connection, and wind upset the plans of some NYSkiers.
Others got a pleasing show, ranging from a short full occultation
north of the graze limit to a close miss south of it. A few of us saw
a good graze, where the star flitted among the mountains on the lunar
limb.
Occultation expert Dr David Dunham and his team scored a fetching
view of the graze from Averne QN. Is he ecstatic from the occultation
or from his foray into New York and living to tell about it?
Venus is getting above the City skyline in early dusk. Many of us
are starting to hear inquiries about that brilliant thingie following
the Sun in twilight. For some of us, this apparition of Venus, the
climax of her 8-year cycle around the heavens, marks the home stretch
for trips in June of 2004 to witness her crossing over the SUn's disc.
Bear in mind that no living soul experienced such a transit of
Venus; there was none in all of the 20th century! Already I hear of
NYSkiers booking trips to Europe for the event, either on special
transit [of Venus] excursions, or regular vacation trips.
Thru most of December we watched Ceres in northern Gemini, gliding
past Pollux. Nominally a binocular target, it was just far easier to
follow with small scopes.
To ring in the new year, several NYSkiers and a couple other
astronomers gathered near Turtle Pond in Central Park. We had
binoculars, computer-generated starcharts, small scopes, and one large
computer-video scope. The group included Alice Barner, Antoinette
Booth, Ben Cacace, Mary Carlson, Tony Hoffman, Lincoln, John Pazmino,
and Charlie Ridgway.
Under clear skies we examined Ceres, Double Cluster, Jupiter,
Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, Moon, Saturn, Beehive Cluster, and
other targets. Just after Saturn hit the meridian, New Year's Eve
being the night of its opposition, the first of the fireworks at Times
Square detonated. The pyrotechnics capped off the starviewing, after
which we repaired to Barner's pad for chili, pea soup, hot chocolate.

Special Events
------------
December opened with a special show by JPL called Marsapalooza. It
played at the Hayden Planetarium on Tuesday 2 December to school
classes and invited astronomy and space representatives. I was honored
to show the flag for NYSkies. The show was aimed at the kids, yet was
mature enough to keep the attention of grownups, teachers and
chaperones.
The students staged an egg-drop contest and a photoelectric car
race, then heard a team of six JPL scientists explain the Mars

and enhance the climate of the meetings.
Treatment of the six theft victims is an other achievement of the
club's 75th year. They are left in the dark for timely substantial
competent news and advice from O'Gara. He so far hasn't given the
victims (or the club!) a bona fide written account of the meetings he
had with the building managers. The victims have only hearsay and
rumors to live with.
President O'Gara hasn't even obtained for the victims copies of
the police report of the theft. Victims NEED this document to properly
treat their loss for 2003 income tax, work with their personal
insurance carrier, and interact with the club's and landlord's legal
and insurance representatives.
O'Gara declared that the Board's vote at its 2003 November 19
meeting to establish a donation fund for the victims was premature. He
did this with no Board's review and study of his reasons, no showing of
substantial verifiable evidence, no requesting a reversal or revote,
no offer of a substitute plan to care for the victims. It is likely
that some seatholders remain unaware of this overthrow of their vote;
Mike noted his action only in his message in Eyepiece, 2004 January.
It looks increasingly likely that the victims will have to fend
for themselfs and give up on an association of amateur astronomers.

NYSkies
-----
Astronomers are exploiting NYSkies as a quick, handy, friendly, and
potent source of astronomy news relating to the City. And there is
LOTS of astronomy stuff going on around New York! Since it revived on
28 September 2001 (it was interrupted by World Trade Center) NYSkies
became the definitive forum and public record for matters bearing on
home astronomy in and around New York.
Granted, some of the banter relates particularly to the Amateur
Astronomers Association. It's the major astronomy union in town and
every home astronomer around here eventually runs up against it. It
pays to listen to those discussions (rants? blusters? tirades?), even
if you opt out of playing in them. At the least, you take into account
the words of the senior members before joining the Association. Or you
can let NYSkies dialog modulate your choice to renew AAA membership.
NYSkies is the soapbox the AAA Board and rank-&-file had to speak
out on various Association problems. They turned to NYSkies simply
because the AAA as yet does not have a good faith sincere forum for
its own members within itself.
Joining NYSkies is easy. Send an empty email to this Yahoo
maillist at '. Its posts are sent to
you in your email and you post to it by email. It's that simple!
Or you may go to 'groups.yahoo.com/group/nysky'. If you are already
signed up with Yahoo, you go and sign in and then 'join' NYSkies. If
not, you have to go thru a silly 'registration' that's a oneshot
chore, valid for all groups you may eventually join. The files and
calendar area of NYSkies are accessible only thru the website.
