Join the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers at Rock Spring parking lot for an evening of stargazing. Telescopes will be set up to provide beautiful views of the delicate crescent Moon, magnificent Saturn with its rings, and deep sky objects like the Great Cluster in Hercules, Lagoon Nebula and other treasures in the Milky Way. We will find our place in the cosmos by understanding how the Earth moves through space and learning to recognize bright stars and constellations.
Dress in warm layers, and bring a red flashlight if you have one, along with your curiosity! Parents please ensure children are supervised around delicate optical equipment.
San Francisco Amateur Astronomers
Our club has something fun and interesting for all to do, whether a beginner or an experienced amateur. Our members are Bay Area enthusiasts who love the varied aspects of our hobby – public outreach, star viewing trips, astrophotography, scientific lectures, telescope making, as well as private members-only dark sky viewing nights and more.
The SFAA has been operating since 1952 and proudly continues a long tradition of helping promote the appreciation of the wonders of the night sky within our Bay Area community. SFAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. https://www.sfaa-astronomy.org
