A night for your personal observing program under the darkest skies in Northern Georgia.

In order to protect the dark skies & out of respect for your fellow observers, NO WHITE LIGHTS are permitted on the observing field after sunset - that includes car interior lights & cell phones. Use red lights only. You can cover flashlights, etc with red film or brake light tape.

• Club Memebrs only

• The gates to the Deerlick Astronomy Village will be open during the day to allow access to the field. However, the gates will automatically close and lock at sunset. Once the gates are locked, there will be no ability to access the field, as there is no parking available outside the gates. All attendees must arrive before sunset in order to participate.

• No white lights or other light-polluting devices will be permitted on the observing field. All lighting must be red/amber in color. This includes flashlights, phone screens, camera displays, etc. Maintaining the dark sky is paramount. Astrophotographers must take every possible precaution to ensure their screens remain covered/filtered and do not affect others

• Going forward if we are unable to have a volunteer to run the event it will be officially cancelled (although any members with a gate code would still be able to go)

To cover the maintenance costs of the field & facilities, we ask that you pay a nightly field fee into the Deerlick Astronomy Village (DAV) mailbox on the warm-up shed porch.
Individuals/tent campers: $5 per person or $10 per family
RV's : $15 if you use the 30 amp service; tent camping rates if you do not
There are no fees if you setup on the AAC site,which is the 1 1/2 acre area in the northwest corner of the field, around the yellow AAC building. There are no water or bathrooms on this property. Club members can contact the Treasurer to get the access code to the building.
