Join the OVAS internet group on YAHOO

In order to keep up with what the OVAS members are discussing and planning, you MUST join this group. You DO NOT have to be an OVAS member to join the BB. If you think that you would like to join us for a meeting, an observing secession at the dome, or a trip to a dark sky site for spectacular views of space - then join the list. This is where we plan our outings. You can find out where we are going and when and where we are meeting. This covers many informal gatherings that are not mentioned on the web site!
