If you would like to become a member of the Southern Colorado
Astronomical Society (SCAS Pueblo) it's actually very easy.  Just visit the
Membership Form page and print out the form.  Bring it to the next SCAS
Pueblo monthly meeting or any event we have scheduled, give it to a SCAS
Pueblo Executive member, and it's a done deal, you're in.  No secret hand
shake to memorize, no special passwords, heck you don't even need a
telescope, just an interest in the skies above. Contact any member for more
information.

SCAS is a proud business sponsor

CSU-P Observatory Temporarily Closed
The Colorado State University-Pueblo Observatory has been closed for
general public use pending substantial upgrades to the software and
hardware.  We do not have a projected time frame when the upgrades will
be completed at this time.  
 

CSU-P students involved in astronomy and physics will be able to use the
observatory for a short period pending the completion of individual
projects.

We do apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your
understanding while we make needed improvements to the observatory to
better serve the university and our community.
If you don't know about the Southern Colorado Astronomical Society take a moment to

becoming a member of the society.  Enjoy.

2012 brings us a rare event, the
Transit of Venus.  Visit the
June
Calendar
for details.  If you missed the
transit in 2004 this is now a once in a
lifetime event. Join SCAS to watch as
the second rock from the Sun crosses
in front of our local Star.

Many thanks to PHAS/PWAM for inviting our society to the
Armed Forces Day Celebration at the airport.  We had
good solar viewing for most of the morning until the clouds
moved in.  It was nice to meet so many people at the event
and hope to see many of those same people at the
upcoming star gaze at Lake Pueblo this coming Friday May
25th at the Arkansas Point Campground.
This event marked the first use of the NASA/JPL "Our Magnetic
Sun" Tool Kit for SCAS.  It was a true asset and we will
continue using this kit at solar viewing events in the very near
future.
SCAS President Walter Russell discussing the Hydrogen Alpha
telescope with visitors to our display.  SCAS had over 50
visitors stop by to look at the solar activity of our local star.
SCAS will be holding a Star Gaze Friday May 25th at Lake
Pueblo, the Arkansas Point Campground.  We will begin
just before sunset
(around 8:10PM) and will continue until  
11pm or midnight.  Please visit the
May Calendar for exact
location details.
