Atlanta Astronomy Club Dark Sky Observing

November 2 @ 6:00 pm - November 3 @ 6:00 am

A night for your personal observing program under the darkest skies in Northern Georgia.

In order to protect the dark skies & out of respect for your fellow observers, NO WHITE LIGHTS are permitted on the observing field after sunset – that includes car interior lights & cell phones. Use red lights only. You can cover flashlights, etc with red film or brake light tape.
We expect that you will arrive before sunset to set up & stay until sunrise.
To cover the maintenance costs of the field & facilities, we ask that you pay a nightly field fee into the Deerlick Astronomy Village (DAV) mailbox on the warm-up shed porch.
Individuals/tent campers: $5 per person or $10 per family
RV’s : $15 if you use the 30 amp service; tent camping rates if you do not
There are no fees if you setup on the AAC site,which is the 1 1/2 acre area in the northwest corner of the field, around the yellow AAC building. There are no water or bathrooms on this property. Club members can contact the Treasurer to get the access code to the building.
