KVAS , sponsors the Blackwater Falls Astronomy Weekend each fall. A well known speaker kicks off the weekend and is followed by classes and round table discussions on such topics as Astronomy Myths, Astrophotography, Radio Astronomy, Telescope Basics, etc. A Flea Market for bartering astronomical paraphernalia is also held. Check the schedule for the date and time of the next Astronomy Weekend. Weather permitting, we try to meet at Breezy Point Observatory, otherwise you will find us at Mathis Hall behind St. Matthews Church.
Meetings begin with a general interest astronomy program followed by a short business meeting.
Refreshments, informal discussions, assistance to astronomical newcomers, and general socializing typify our meetings. This new observatory is nearly complete above the Boone Maxwell Lodge at Camp Virgil Tate. We cater to people of all ages. Annually, KVAS and the Sunrise Foundation sponsor Astronomy Day, a day set aside to educate the public in areas of astronomy and space science. If you miss this turn you will go to George Washington High School.
