The OCCC Astronomy Club will be starting our meetings back up for the Fall semester. We would be happy to have anyone that wants to come lend some knowledge to students and sky watch with us.

We will be in the fields across from the John Massey center on OCCC campus and will have some Dobs set up. This will be a monthly occurrence starting September 15th, 2026 until December. Days may update due to weather. As we get closer, I will update this post with exact dates and times.

A big thank you to Gerald, Jim, and Marv for coming out to support the OCCC Astronomy Club last night!

It was a tad windy, but otherwise almost perfect weather. We had 8-10 (maybe more) OCCC club members there, and we had a great time helping them to enjoy viewing the universe!

Thanks, Bobie, for inviting us!

Thank you for coming out. All of you. It was an absolutely amazing meeting. I’m looking to see what weather does, then I’ll post the exact date of our next one. 🙂
