Welcome to the Westport Astronomical Society!
 |
The Observatory is open and free to the Public every Wednesday and Thursday night from 8 to 10 p.m. (clear skies ONLY)!
The Rolnick Observatory urgently needs your support. As you may have heard, the dome telescope was recently struck by lightning, causing costly damages to the telescope electronics, power supplies and our internet router. In addition, our classroom is desperately in need of repair. Although the telescope is back up and running again, these unanticipated expenses come at a time when The Westport Astronomical Society is already facing an exceptionally tight budget, and threatens the continued operation of the Club. Our goal is to raise $10,000.
Please consider making a tax deductible donation today via our secure Google Checkout button to ensure the Westport Astronomical Society can continue to bring the night skies to Westport! Another great way to help WAS is by becoming a member or by simply renewing your membership, if it has expired.
You can also mail us a check to the attention of our Treasurer c/o Westport Astronomical Society, Inc., 182 Bayberry Lane, Westport, CT 06880.
Our Next Meeting
Tuesday February 16th, 2010Our speaker will be David Mestre from the Discovery Museum. His topic of discussion is TBD. The start time is 8:00 PM.
As a reminder, the meeting will be held back at the Rolnick Observatory! While there is still more work to be done on the classroom, a very special thanks is owed to Todd Nelson and the other volunteers whose hard work has put the building back into shape!
