To join our guest list and be invited to Public Observing Nights at our semi-dark-sky observing platform at Addison Oaks County Park, send an email to outreach AT oaklandastronomy.net

         Community-Hosted Outreach Events Scheduled for September and October:    

• September 14  Forty-Four guests joined fifteen club members on a spectacular evening to celebrate "International Observe the Moon Night".     See October 4th below for information about October's Saturn Party!


• September 20-21  For the 28th year, the amateur astronomy clubs of the great lakes region, GLAAC, will again come together to share the celestial skies with our neighboring communities in Southeast Michigan.   Join us at Maybury State Park in Northville, a new one-time-only location, for one of the largest free public stargazing festivals in the country.   This year's keynote speaker will be Melissa Kaelin, celebrated author and leader of the Michigan Aurora Chasers!   This event is free, but requires a Michigan Recreation Passport (or park entry fee).   For all the details, visit the GLAAC website HERE.


• September 27  West Bloomfield's annual Family Campout is a blast and the Oakland Astronomy Club will be adding to the fun by sharing views of Saturn, the Andromeda Galaxy, and more through our club member telescopes!   Register for this event with Parks/Rec.


• October 4  Save the date!   To highlight their new Solar System Trail, Addison Oaks County Park is hosting a family friendly Planets Night this evening.   Take a brief solar system trail walk in the Fall air, enjoy complimentary cider and doughnuts, get oriented to the night sky and enjoy a laser-guided constellation tour.   At dusk, through the telescopes of the Oakland Astronomy Club members, see majestic Saturn--seemingly floating in the night sky--along with a host of other exciting objects!   When the official flyer is released by the park, we'll post it here.


• October 11  Camper's Boo Bash returns to Addison Oaks County Park!   We will share the spooky skies of October as part of the festivities.


• October 12  For the third year in a row, Troy Montessori School has invited our club back to engage the students and their families in exploring the night sky and we are looking forward to it!
