Welcome
to the Home Page of Your Old Uncle Rod! Come
on in and set a spell. Put your feet up. Let me get you a glass of
that wonderful concoction we here at Chaos Manor South love so well,
REBEL YELL! We're here to talk everything there is to talk
about astronomy. 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.
