Deep sky observing events are scheduled for FWAS members and their guests to observe the fainter objects in the sky from a location away from city lights. These events are closed to the general public to allow members to plan observing and photography projects that will be undisturbed. Each date is scheduled on the Friday closest to the new moon each month.

• This event’s starting time is an hour after sunset, but you are free to arrive as early or late as you’d like and stay as long as you want.

• If you want to use an observatory scope, contact Observatory Director Neil Ainslie at 260-740-9162 to reserve a time slot.
