Magazine subscription discounts. The Lowbrows have access to the University's 24 inch McMath Cassegrain telescope on Peach Mountain near Pinckney. Also, if you own your own telescope, there is room at the observatory site to set it up at one of the darkest sites in the Ann Arbor area. The observatory is on North Territorial road, 1.1 miles west of the Dexter-Pinckney road intersection. We have a private telephone hotline, for Lowbrows only, by which you can obtain late breaking news, or to find out if anyone is going out to the observatory on a given night.
All members have the option of being included in our e-mail list.
A variety of information is distributed in this way. Per tradition, after each meeting we adjourn to the nearby Brown Jug for food and camaraderie. Public Open Houses are scheduled on the Saturday evenings preceding and following each new moon , at Peach Mountain. When it is clear, these are well attended by visitors, so you are encouraged to help with these events, whether directing parking or foot traffic, or providing a telescope for viewing. The Lowbrows are also involved with a variety of other astronomy related events over the course of the year, go here for a list of current astronomy events .
