Welcome

our club
The SAS was founded in 1975 to foster the development of amateur Astronomy in the east-central Michigan area. Members come from all walks of life and span a wide range of ages. Our activities include observing sessions, annual public star parties, and friendly meetings where we share our common interest and learn from formal presentations and each other. If you are interested in astronomy, please join us at one of our monthly meetings.

meetings and observing events

Club meetings and observing events are listed in the club calendar on the "MEETING / EVENT CALENDAR" page . This calendar changes frequently with up to date status of meetings and events. Listed future events are tentative and subject to change due to weather and other conditions.
