At the June 16 workshop there will be a presentation on the upcoming August 21 solar eclipse, and the scopes will be out looking for galaxies.

Join us this summer at Hidden Valley Observatory. Spend an evening learning about the night sky and viewing stars, planets and nebulae through both observatory and member-owned telescopes. No charge!

This image of Comet 41P/Tuttle, now visible with small telescopes near the bowl of the Big Dipper, was taken by BHAS member John Adler on March 28, 2017. Click on the comet for more member images and video, or visit Earth Sky for more about Comet 41P/Tuttle.
