Club Observing Site Directions.
Fill out the Outreach Guest List Form to join our guest list and be invited to Public Observing Nights at our semi-dark-sky observing platform at Addison Oaks County Park.
Community-Hosted Outreach Events planned for November and December.
November 14th
Experience the trails after dark on a naturalist-led hike at West Bloomfield's Recreation Activities Center. The Oakland Astronomy Club will share an informative presentation about Earth's recent cometary visitors and (weather permitting) will share their telescopes for viewing the night sky. (The walk is about one mile and is easy to moderate in difficulty. Register with West Bloomfield Parks.)
December 18th
Club members are looking forward to sharing our telescopes as one stop along West Bloomfield's family friendly lantern-lit Winter Solstice walk. Timed registration with West Bloomfield Parks opens soon.
December 29th
In Auburn Hills, celebrate the Winter Solstice from 6-9pm by taking a quiet walk through the lantern-lit trails at Hawk Woods Park and Campground. Weather permitting, enjoy the treasures of the season's skies through the telescopes of the Oakland Astronomy Club. There will be crackling fire to enjoy a warmed drink with your neighbors, then come indoors to make some winter-themed crafts. Registration is not required.
