New Home, First Light

We moved last month from 181st to 160th Street. Besides unpacking boxes, I’ve been scouting new observing locations. This little plaza at 155 St and Riverside looked perfect: lots of foot traffic, plenty of sidewalk space, and a wonderfully clear view of the sky from south-east to west.

Everything came together last night with a clear sky, a first quarter Moon well-positioned just after sunset, and lots of passersby eager to observe. It doesn’t get much better than this in Manhattan!

Location: 155 St. and Riverside Dr.
