Cosmic Coffehouse

Event

The Cosmic Coffeehouse is the brainchild of longtime SSAS club member Steve LaFlamme, and is a monthly Zoom gathering of interested persons that engage in casual discussions on all things astronomy. It is always scheduled for the 15th of the month beginning at 7pm eastern time, and generally runs for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Topics typically include observing and imaging projects that folks have been currently working on, and the group interests span a diverse range of topics. The only way to get the Zoom link sent to you is to email Steve at astro-geek@comcast.net and ask to be included.
