The Black River Astronomical Society is one of the oldest astronomy clubs in the area, founded in 1949. The Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society was founded in 1963 for the purposes of increasing the astronomical knowledge and technique of our members and for public service in our community. Our goals are promotion of public education in astronomy, the continuation of useful research, and the preservation of unpolluted skies for future use of both the astronomer and the general public. Since 1947, it has attracted members from every walk of life and all ages that share a passion for the night sky. The CAS meets on the second Saturday of each month at historic Perkins Memorial Observatory near Delaware, Ohio.
Visitors are welcome to attend.
Perkins Observatory is located about 15 minutes north of Columbus on U.S. Route 23. Weather permitting, the meetings also provide an opportunity for members to observe the night sky with their telescopes.
