  • Camper Observation at Stone Mountain State Park 8/18

    Update 8/18: We are rescinding our previous cancellation!!!! The observation is back on. It looks like we’re going to have a break in the weather between 8 and 11 that will be clear enough to catch the planets and the Moon. Given we have had to cancel every observation at this site for this year thus far.…

  • Public Observation at Kaleideum North 7/21

      Update 7/20: The observation at Kaleideum North for Saturday July 21st has been canceled.

  • Camper Observation at Stone Mountain State Park 6/2

  • FAS Pilot Mountain Public Observation Saturday April 7th

      Update 4/6: This Pilot Mountain Observation is CANCELLED. It’s hard to believe that we haven’t gotten a single observation at Pilot Mountain this membership year, but that appears to be the reality.  Tomorrow night’s forecast looks awful, with clouds, rain, and perhaps even some snow flurries up on the mountain.  So, we’re cancelled again, and unfortunately…
