Astrophotography Interest Group

New Website Host: The MAS website has a new host provider and our storage availability has been expanded dramatically.
This will allow us to post more content, more images at higher resolution, and more of our rich MAS history.
COVID-19 Update: The MAS Board has decided that going forward we will follow the
CDC COVID Guidelines. Basically,
you do not need a mask if you are fully vaccinated. A good summary can be experienced by going to any business.
90 Years!
Did you know that MAS was formed on September 21, 1932? That means we will celebrate our 90th birthday
this year! Our club has a rich history which you can read about in our
history section. Throughout the year we plan on
showcasing some of that history.
100 Years!
Our B-Scope (officially the Ralph Buckstaff Telescope) turns 100 as of this year.
The telescope sat in Buckstaff's extensive home observatory in Oshkosh until 1946 when he donated it to the MAS and we built a
domed observatory to house it.
Buckstaff joined the MAS in 1934 and remained a member until his passing in 1980.
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.
