Each month, MAS holds observing and telescope assistance (weather permitting) at Shelby Farms Park- P5 South Hyde Lake Parking Lot (East on Walnut Grove, left on Farm Road, P5 is your first right). This is an opportunity for people to see some of the brighter objects- such as the moon and planets, as well as get assistance with their telescopes. If you have recently purchased a telescope and need help setting it up and using it, this is a great opportunity to get 1:1 assistance. Experienced MAS members and telescope operators are on hand to help you get started using your new telescope.

Skies were clear, seeing was great, but transparency was very poor due to smoke from the fires out west. We did have a great view of a waxing crescent moon, Venus, and Jupiter- with it's four Galilean moons in a line (IO, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto).
