Anthrocon 2025

Join us Saturday evening at the AstronoFurs Star Party, from 9:30pm to Midnight, up on the North Terrace overlooking the Allegheny River for a night under the stars.

The Moon will be visible, just passed first quarter, offering breathtaking views of its cratered surface along the “transition line.”  The planet Mars should also be visible in the western skies through the waning twilight and urban light pollution.  

As darkness overtakes Anthrocon, we’ll showcase the double-stars Albireo, Epsilon Lyra – The Double Double, and Zeta Ursa Major – Mizar and Alcor.  We’ll also attempt to provide views of the “Coat Hanger” asterism in Vupecula.

Bring your sense of wonder and curiosity, and we’ll provide the rest.

Want to bring your own telescope or binoculars? We’ll make room. There are plenty of objects to observe and share.

Note: In the event of inclement weather or cloudy skies, I’ll set up my telescope in the DLCC on the 3rd Floor, Allegheny River side, near the glass elevator, to the side above Hall A, for some impromptu “Astronomy Q&A.”
