| If you would like to become a member of the Southern Colorado Astronomical Society (SCAS Pueblo) it's actually very easy. Just visit the Membership Form page and print out the form. Bring it to the next SCAS Pueblo monthly meeting or any event we have scheduled, give it to a SCAS Pueblo Executive member, and it's a done deal, you're in. No secret hand shake to memorize, no special passwords, heck you don't even need a telescope, just an interest in the skies above. Contact any member for more information. |

| CSU-P Observatory Temporarily Closed The Colorado State University-Pueblo Observatory has been closed for general public use pending substantial upgrades to the software and hardware. We do not have a projected time frame when the upgrades will be completed at this time. CSU-P students involved in astronomy and physics will be able to use the observatory for a short period pending the completion of individual projects. We do apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding while we make needed improvements to the observatory to better serve the university and our community. |
