New Suffolk Waterfront: Outreach Astronomy Program

At the Galley Ho in New Suffolk, NY, Steve Bellavia presented a power point on Astronomy to visitors and explored various topics in astronomy and astrophotography, Long Island’s current role in the field of Astronomy and the phenomenon of exploding stars (including photographs of the Supernova that occurred June 2nd in the Galaxy M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy). Several telescopes were set up by David van Poppering, Steve Bellavia and David Barnett. David Barnett demonstrated his new Video Cam setup where everyone can see what the telescope sees in real time! Great job guys!
