Darling Hill Will OPEN Tonight For A Group/Public Viewing Session – Saturday, June 23 – 9:00 p.m.

Greetings fellow astrophiles, The SAS is hosting a group at Darling Hill tonight and are opening the grounds to a general Public Viewing Session. The skies look far more promising tonight than last night and several board and scope-owning members have already planned on attending. The grounds should be open by 8:00 p.m. for those interested in setting up early and exploring the Observatory Grounds. We hope you can join us!

Darling Hill Will OPEN Tonight For Member Project Sessions – Friday, June 22 – 9:00 p.m.

Greetings fellow astrophiles, The Night Sky predictions for tonight look promising and some members have already decided to get some deep space observing in, so Darling Hill will open tonight near sunset. As mentioned previously, the public is invited to Member Project Sessions. That said, these are not typical Public Viewing sessions where tours and pick-hits of the evening are had, but instead are for dedicated observing.
