Our goal for GivingTuesday is to raise $2500 to upgrade our newly donated 15″ Obsession telescope for more public outreach. It’s the portable little brother to our big 25″ Obsession that’s regularly out on the lawn. We plan to add the latest digital setting circles, dew heaters, eyepieces and some other goodies allowing us to find even more interesting objects faster!

Help us bring the awe and wonder of astronomy to everyone this year. When reviewing your year-end giving opportunities, please consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift — whatever amount you might like to give to help us meet the goals ahead.
