Welcome! We hope your experience on our website is enjoyable, informative, and problem-free. We all look forward to seeing you at the next club function!

Who are we? Well, apart from our mission statement below:

We are based in Southeast Michigan's Oakland County.
We operate a semi-dark sky observing site at Addison Oaks County Park, which is the home of the club's 17.5" dobsonian telescope.
We publish a monthly newsletter full of interesting tidbits and stories about the club's many events and adventures.
We put on educational programs for local schools, parks, and other organizations, including Star Parties!

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Astronomy. You don't need to own optical equipment to join - everyone from complete beginners to grizzled veterans are most certainly welcome!
We have meetings at 7:00 PM on the second Sunday of every month except May, open to the public, for the exchange of knowledge, information, and interesting discussions concering all aspects of Astronomy. Meetings are held at the Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve in Rochester, Michigan.
