Star power

Roxbury's Stone Tavern Farm, which boasts "the darkest skies within 300 miles of New York City," hosted the Amateur Observers' Society of New York's annual Starfest this weekend. In attendance: The Westport Astronomical Society's 25" Obsession telescope, a model designed for the traveling starhopper. (Alas, the skies over the Catskills were mostly cloudy this weekend -- better luck next year, AOS!)
