A LLCC Committee member will notify the administration on room requirements.\nA weekend may be cancelled if weather or field conditions are not suitable. You may be the only one attending or there may be others – it is up to the individual members to use the weather resources available and decide if it is worth making the trip. Check the MAS Forum to see if others are going or not going\nThe site is not available for mid-week observing by members.\n\nCheck the MAS forum – ‘Long Lake Conservation Discussions’ topic and state that you intend to go to LLCC for the designated weekend.

SUMMARY:2026 Spring Astronomy Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday April 25\, 2025 \nThe Minnesota Astronomical Society would like to invite you to attend the Astronomical League’s Astronomy Day activities at the Eagle Lake Observatory in Baylor Regional Park. Speakers are scheduled throughout the day and will give talks on astronomy and what there is to see. Door prize drawing will be held Saturday evening and include MAS merchandise\, astronomy books and telescopes. The evening will continue with viewing through our array of telescopes observing some of the winter and early spring objects coming into view including the Orion Nebula\, Crab nebula\, the Sombrero Galaxy\, the Whirlpool Galaxy\, the Beehive Cluster\, the Black Eye Galaxy and Hercules cluster among many others. \n Schedule of Events \n The observatory opens and the Star Party begins at 2:00 pm. We will begin with solar viewing and other daytime objects. \nSchedule TBD \n Event Background \nAstronomy Day is a grass roots movement designed to share the joy of astronomy with the general population – “Bringing Astronomy to the People.” On Astronomy Day\, thousands of people who have never looked through a telescope will have an opportunity to see first-hand what has so many amateur and professional astronomers all excited. \nAstronomy Day was born in California in 1973. Doug Berger\, then president of the Astronomical Association of Northern California\, decided that rather than try to entice people to travel long distances to visit observatory open houses\, they would set up telescopes closer to where the people were – busy locations – urban locations like street corners\, shopping malls\, parks\, etc.His strategy paid off. Not only did Astronomy Day go over with a bang\, not only did the public find out about the astronomy club\, they found out about future observatory open houses. Since the public got a chance to look through a portable telescope\, they were hooked. They wanted to see what went on at the bigger telescopes\, so they turned out in droves at the next observatory open house. \nFor additional information\, visit the Astronomical League’s website at https://www.astroleague.org/astronomyday/facts \n \n \n \n \n \n Public star parties are open to all. \nAdditional information as well as directions can be found on the Eagle Lake Observatory web page. \nonaninfo@mnastro.org \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n Fill in this form to make an inquiry about our Public Star Parties at ELO. \n\n\n\n Your name (required):\n \n\n Your email (required):\n \n\n Your phone:\n \n\n ELO Event date (required): \n\n Let us know if you have any questions or how we could help you!
