Meetings and observing sessions take place at Boothe Memorial Park through the observatory's 16 inch Cassegrain and 4 inch Unitron refractor under the dome, as well as various member's telescopes, the first and third Friday of each month, and at posted times for special events. Those with telscopes of their own are welcome to bring them to the observing site.
Please visit our Calendar page for details and updates.
Outside of regular meetings, we also
open the observatory for Public Open Houses, School groups, Scouts, Jaycees,
and other groups of people who are interested in a hands on introduction
to observational astronomy.*
On clear nights, we're likely to
spend the entire evening observing through our 16" Cassegrain and 4" Unitron
Refractor telescopes, helping individuals learn how to use their own equipment,
and teaching beginners how to navigate the night sky.
Benefits of joining BMAS include
access to club facilities and resources, guidance and instruction on choosing,
using, and maintaining a telescope, assistance with design and construction
of astronomical equipment, and an opportunity to develop friendships with
people who share your interest in Astronomy. We welcome the opportunity
to assist and educate, and visitors and new members are always welcome.
