Mission:
The purpose of the Ozarks Amateur Astronomers Club is to create and foster public interest in astronomy through presentations and public observing nights.
Oct 3rd and 4th - Picnic, Star Party, and NASA Night

The OAAC will be having a joint picnic with SPS and Alpha Phi Omega on Friday October 3rd at 4:00 pm at Phelps Grove park. Afterward we will all carpool to the observatory and have a star party at Baker observatory.

NASA observing night will be on Saturday, October 4, 2008, from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M., weather permitting. See this link for directions: - NASA Observing Night -

UPDATE: Per last word I have heard the Observing night will be held tonight Oct 4th (The weather is permitting). I will try to tie some balloons to the road sign where you turn off onto the gravel road if coming from the Marshfield side to make finding the turn off easier. - Scott
