Mount Tam Lectures
April – October only.
The SFAA again joins the Mt Tam Interpretive Society at the annual ‘Summer Astronomy Program’ hosting public viewing events from April through October. SFAA members bring their telescopes, big and small, to Rock Springs parking lot and share viewing with the public after the astronomy lecture has concluded.
What to Bring
Members: Please bring your telescope for public outreach and, if possible, a step stool for younger audience members.
Public: Please bring a red filter for your flashlight. You’ll be able to see many more wonderful objects in the sky if your eyes have red light around them in stead of the usual white light. It can get quite cool on the mountain, so we recommend you bring layers and gloves. You might also want to bring a cushion for the lecture because the seats in the auditorium are stone.
