And especially to introduce you to SCT User, the worldwide mailing list for users of Schmidt Cassegrains and other catadioptric telescopes, and The Mobile Astronomical Society, Mobile Alabama's very own astronomy club.

Meetings

The MAS holds its meetings the first Thursday of each month at 7pm at the Mobile Public Schools' Environmental Studies Center on Girby Road. These meetings normally include both a business meeting and an informative presentation.  Occasionally, we will observe after a meeting, but we reserve most of that for the MOSPs. See the scroll at the top of the page for the date of the next meeting.

Members Only Star Parties (MOSPs)

Once a month we come together for a group observing session. These monthly dark-of-the-Moon "MOSPs" have in the past been held on the secure and comfortable grounds of the ESC. Recently, however, we've been using a dark site in the Tanner-Williams area for our deep sky observing (the ESC is situated in the midst of heavy light-pollution).  If you're a paid member of the MAS, you are welcome to attend MOSPs. For details, please email Rod at the address above.

ARE YOU A NEW MEMBER WHO WANTS TO STAY INFORMED ABOUT MAS DOINGS? IF SO, EMAIL ROD AT THE ADDRESS ABOVE TO BE PUT ON THE MAS MAIL-ALERT LIST!
