Field Trips

 

Field trips are another popular club activity. Examples of field trips the club has taken are the Kitt Peak Night Observing Program, the University of Arizona Mirror Laboratory, the Mount Hopkins Observatory Tour, the Mount Graham Observatory tour and the Vega-Bray Observatory Overnight Experience. Repeat trips to some of these places are in the offing and other trips are being planned.

 

The Astronomy Club is also planning a trip Mt. Graham next year.  This will be a 2-day trip, Friday-Saturday, October 24-25.  We would first visit the Discovery Park where we will have the opportunity to look through the Park's 20-inch telescope on the evening of the 24th. Then on Saturday we would take a van up to Mt. Graham, tour the three telescope facilities, have lunch, and return to Safford by 4:00 pm. Cost is $40 per person.  Register with Arthur Humphrey at 825-6919 or arthur.humphrey@att.net.
