*** SAS Members *** We’re on for tonight’s 5/14 observing session! The weather looks perfect all night long! It will get down into the lower 40’s, so please dress appropriately. Given the CDC’s recent change in guidance regarding masks, we will not be requiring mask usage on the observatory grounds, and we’ll leave it to your discretion whether or not you use one while inside the observatory building. We would ask that you continue to sign our contact tracing sheet when you arrive. See you on the hill!

***SAS Members *** The weather isn’t going to cooperate with our plans at Darling Hill Observatory tonight, so we’re going to cancel our observing session scheduled for tonight, 5/7/21 and reschedule it for Saturday night, 5/8. The weather looks better then. See you on the hill!
*** SAS Members *** We’ve decided that an abbreviated public session is better than no session at all. So, we’ll start earlier (at 7 PM) while the sun and Moon are still above the horizon and the clouds are fewer. Then quickly slew to as many targets as possible before the clouds roll in around 10 PM. Bring a jacket and mask, even if you’re fully vaccinated. The grounds may be too soggy to park on, so you may not want to wear flip flops to walk the last 100 yards. The next Moon Night is May 21 […]
*** SAS Members *** Due to cloudiness and poor seeing conditions, tonight’s Moon and Planets Night scheduled for 4/16 will be postponed until tomorrow, 4/17. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better, but there’s an 80% chance that it won’t. Stay tuned. We’ll make a decision by noon tomorrow and publish it via email, facebook, and on our website. The next scheduled public event is our Public Observing Session preceding the New Moon in 3 weeks, on May 7th or 8th. Our next public Moon and Planets night is May 22nd or 23rd.
