Observing At The Tybee Pier Tonight Friday 5/25

Posted on May 25, 2012 by OAA Admin

Hey Folks, I’m heading out to the pier for a couple of hours. I plan on arriving around Sunset (8:21 pm). On the observing menu for tonight, Venus (a very slim and pretty crescent); Mars, Saturn and the Moon. Come on out and join me.

Clear Skies,

Kevin

Welcome To Our New Website

Posted on May 19, 2012 by OAA Admin

This is the new home of the Oglethorpe Astronomical Association. It is still a work in progress and parts of it are still under construction, so please be patient. As you can see, this is a themed WordPress blog site which we sincerely hope will allow us to better keep up to date. At the very least, we’ll be able to have more than just one person updating it.

Some of the features we plan to include in the next few weeks are:

  • Integration with our Facebook page (yes, there is a widget that is supposed to do this)
  • An actual calendar of upcoming events (still under construction)
  • A photo album so our members can share their images in a more public forum than Yahoo or Facebook (believe it or not, not everyone uses Yahoo or Facebook)
  • A better means of Contacting Us
  • Anything else that we can think of that improves our web presence (I’m open to suggestions)
Enjoy and let me know what you think.
Kevin
