Public Viewing

SAS Members, Based on the current weather predictions which show clouds from Helene moving in by this evening, and more of the same tomorrow night. The public session this weekend has been cancelled. Our next public session is October 25th. We also have a member observing session next Friday. We hope to see you then.  

SAS members, The weather looks like we should get a few hours of observing time tonight, so our public observing session is on. Come and gaze at through our 16” Cave telescope, or look through our members telescope on the lawn. We should be able to see the rings of Saturn tonight. We’ll also have an EAA presentation as well. Be aware we still have two stumps on the lawn, to the right as you drive up. There are parking cones on them for visibility.  

SAS Members, Based on the current weather predictions showing clouds to move in by this evening, tonight’s public session has been rescheduled until tomorrow 8/24/24. A final announcement will be made tomorrow regarding the session in case the predictions change again. Thank You, John

Sunset is at 8:32 PM so it’s best to arrive after that. Special Note: We have two tree stumps on the lawn to your right near the entrance. Cones are placed on the stumps […]
