HOW WE DO IT
We meet monthly at the Weber County Library Pleasant Valley branch in South Ogden on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm (except June - August).
We have guest speakers, watch space related media and have show and tell sessions. Our meetings are open to the public, so come check us out!
We get together for fun activities, including hosting public star parties, and going on camping trips to some of the darkest skies in the western USA, We also join together for special celestial events like eclipses, occultations, and transits.
