THE PLANETARIUM HAS BEEN CLOSED UNTIL APRIL 30TH.
Join us after the Monthly Skies over Louisville program at the UofL Rauch Planetarium.
We will set up in the courtyard and let you see views of the night sky. It is also a good time to see the different types of telescopes and binoculars you can use to enjoy the night sky.
We look forward to seeing you there. Doors open at 7:30 PM.

LAS General Meeting this month will be presented by Ronnie Yates. His topic will be Astrophotography.
The LAS Urban Astronomy Center is in the Root Cellar Building at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park. The UAC is a 2,000 square foot heated classroom and meeting space plus storage for our telescopes. It features a kitchen, restroom and a four acre observing field in front of the building. A perfect place for you to learn how to use your scope or talk astronomy with the old guys.
Welcome to the May meeting of the LAS! This month our topic is: Everything You Wanted to Know About Astronomy But Were Afraid to Ask. The format will be a Round Robin Q & A. session
Members may arrive early for set-up. If the ground is wet, we will set-up behind the building on the asphalt. Scope set-up is weather dependent. Our scopes are unable to penetrate the clouds and heavy moisture such as rain drops are bad for the electronics.
