Observatory Expansion Fund-Raiser
Our building at Beaver Meadow has provided us with outstanding service and outreach capabilities.
As an increased number of members use the facility on a regular basis and we have furthered
our outreach programs, the current facility has had limitations in keeping up with these expanded
projects and increased public traffic. We have had additional donations of telescopes available
for member use which require additional space and we are beyond capacity for the seminars and
groups we have hosted at the observatory. To improve our ability to expand member knowledge,
skills and resources along with the ability to handle even larger public outreach, we have taken on
the project of improving and upgrading our facilities.
Proposed Expansion
We are planning on expanding our Observatory at Beaver Meadows with a 10 x 10 ft Observatory with an 8 foot Dome. This will not only expand our capabilities for Club members, it will increase outreach as those visitors to the BMO will undoubtedly know exactly where our observatory is located with the visual que that a Dome will give.
Donations Greatly Appreciated
We are looking to the public and friends of the BAA to help support us in this endeavor. In the coming days and even months we are going to raffle off a telescope and accessories suitable for both the budding beginner or intermediate observer.
