General news
 ----------
    I put in clock hours for events announced to start at 'sunset' or 
'dusk', like I have to do in the NYSkies calendar. I rounded the 
sunset to the earlier hour to allow for daylight arrival at the event. 
    Some events are within a property, typicly a museum, that has an
admission fee. The 'free' or '$xx' charge noted in NYC Events is that
AFTER getting into the host property.
    Some parks where specific public sessions are held  are also used
by stargazers on other dates under stipulations set by each park.
BEFORE availing of the park for such extra stargazing, learn from the
contact of these stipulations. If the park finds you on its grounds
outside of public sessions without satisfying its terms of use, you 
may be removed from the property. This admonition is a fallout from 
the ongoing revision of access to various lands across the country. 
    The calendar section in NYSkies website is now a reminder sheet,
leaving out the details of the events, because NYC Events and that
calendar now are essentially congruent. More over, many NYSkiers lack
web service, but NYC Events is emailed to all NYSkiers. Print the
calendar in landscape mode to avoid clipping off the far right days.
    When a new event is noticed, or an existing has substantial 
changes, I enter it in the calendar with '(CLICK)'. That tells you 
there are details and a contact behind your click. 
    I learned that the Robert Moses starviewing of Astronomical 
Society of Long Island were really informal sessions, not formally 
scheduled ones. They are now left out of NYC Events. 
    Say 'hi!' to Larry Ventura, new chair of Staten Island Chapter of 
Amateur Astronomers Association. He took office in August, but for the 
moment outgoing chair Eileen Thomas is still the contact. 
    Welcomes go to the Westchester Amateur Astronomers's new website, 
opening on Labor Day. Please visit www.westchesterastronomers.org. 
    National Space Society may hold its September and future meetings 
at a new location, rather than at NYU. Details were not firm by end
