AstroAssembly Galleries

A collection of photos from the early years of AstroAssembly.

Despite a bit of cold weather Friday night under the tent and a bit of wet weather on Saturday, AstroAssembly 2003 was a success and a good time was had by all. Here are some photos from this year's event.

AstroAssembly 2003 was billed as a celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Seagrave Observatory's Alvan Clark telescope. As part of this celebration, Skyscrapers invited some members from the Antique Telescope Society to bring some Old Glass to put on display in the meeting hall during AstroAssembly. Here are some of the fine instruments they brought.

AstroAssembly 2005 is being described by many as the best one that they have ever attended. Featured guests included Bill Sheehan, Jim Head, John Briggs, and our keynote speaker, astronaut Story Musgrave.

Photos from AstroAssembly

Skyscraper AstroAssembly 2007 is now in the history archives. From all of the reports that I have received everyone enjoyed the speakers, the camaraderie, and the food! I am pleased that the Skyscrapers upheld the famous Rhode Island tradition of good food and lots of it. Of course the AstroAssembly could not have happened with out numerous volunteers, way to many to name individually. All of the volunteers, you know who you are, my deepest gratitude for your support for this event. The entire weekend went very smoothly and with out any problems. Hats off to Kathy Siok for a wonderful event. Anyone that missed the Asto-Assembly this year mark your calendar for next year October 3rd and 4th, don’t miss two in a row.
