Title
Boothe Memorial Astronomical Society, Stratford, CT
Description
The Boothe Memorial Astronomical Society was formed by a local group of professional and amateur astronomers in 1953, and its members have been studying our skies and educating people in the greater Bridgeport area for the past 50 years. Today’s society members are involved in the renovation of the Boothe observatory and telescope, expansion of the educational center, and passing on the same passion for astronomy that its founding members gave to the public.
Meetings take place at the BMAS Observatory, located in Boothe Memorial Park in Stratford, Connecticut. We meet on the first and third Fridays of each month. (Please refer to calendar.)
Outside of regular meetings, we also open the observatory for Public Open Houses, School groups, Scouts, Jaycees, and other groups of people who are interested in a hands on introduction to observational astronomy.*
