90 Years!
Did you know that MAS was formed on September 21, 1932? That means we celebrated our 90th birthday
this year! That birth was during the Great Depression and the club gathered at the house of Luverne Armfield
and observed from his tiny yard in West Allis. And against all odds our club would decide to build
our observatory in 1936. Our club has a rich history which you can read about in our
history section.
Internet At the Observatory
The MAS Board has decided that it is finally time that we get internet access at our observatory!
This gives us a number of capabilities including the ability to broadcast our meetings so members can
view it remotely, upload of imaging, and security cameras. We hope to have this running by September.
Ottawa Lake Permission
Our thanks to Jason Doyle who secured a letter of permission for members
of our club to use the relatively dark area of Ottawa Lake State Recreation Area of the Southern Unit - Kettle Moraine State Forest after 11:00PM when otherwise
you cannot. It is a good idea to
print out the letter and have it with you.
And keep in mind that you still need to purchase a day pass or an
annual state park sticker.
Current Universal Time
Our club is turned 90 years old this past September! You can read about our
MAS history here.
