Event
Our monthly meeting out at the Highland Road Park Observatory. Program TBD.
Update: Our program will focus on some actual hands-on observing. We'll do some club business indoors first, then head outside to attempt some guided observations. Members are encouraged to bring binoculars, seestars or telescopes! We'll mostly be guiding folks on how to start completing observations for the various Astronomical League observing clubs.
