"Promoting the Enjoyment of Observing and Learning for All" The Charlottesville Astronomical Society (CAS) is an organization founded to promote the enjoyment of observing the stars and planets. CAS caters to individuals of all ages and levels of astronomical experience. We wish to interest the public in astronomy through naked-eye, telescopic, and binocular viewing as well as through talks and newsletters our organization sponsors. We feel our Society has much to offer in information and activities for budding amateur astronomers as well as those who are simply curious about space. But, most of all, we try to make astronomy a thrilling experience for everyone. We are fortunate to live in an area that can boast of relatively dark nights and where the Milky Way can still be seen just outside of Charlottesville. Join us as we explore the universe together!
