Chase Farm: August 2023
by Francine Jackson
Wednesday, August 23, was the annual Starry, Starry Night at Chase Farm, Lincoln. President of the Friends of Hearthside Kathy Hartley, who arranged our night, was amazed this year again to learn we will be doing the program twice that night, plus she had a waiting list.
After a PowerPoint presentation on the sky, the guests were led up to the hill where telescopes had been set up by Jim Hendrickson, Ron Zincone, Heidi Morgan, John Kocur, and Francine Jackson. In addition to the first quarter Moon, Saturn was visible for the first time this season, and everyone was thrilled to see it.
This program has become so popular that Kathy mentioned a person who came this time has already reserved a spot for next year.
