February, 2009

Two SAS members (George Seagle and Bruce Patterson) gave a presentation on telescopes to two classes of Christ the King elementary school in Springfield. The presentation will help augment the kids classroom studies of the planets.

IDSSP 2008 was a great success! Thanks to everyone who attended!

On May 10th 2008, the SAS offically dedicated it's new observatory.

The grounds are now called the "Sangamon Astronomical Society Observing Park"

The Celectron C16 is now called the "C.H. Lanphier Observatory"

Congratulations to everyone who made this historic day possible!
