SDAA Outreach Special Interest Group (OSIG)
The San Diego Astronomy Association (SDAA) has a rich history of “reaching out” into our community and making our universe accessible with telescopes during “in person” stargazing events, as depicted in the photo to the right.
On our website we list many different venues where the public can attend and our SDAA members can share the sky, explain how our telescopes work, and educating the public about the wonders in our universe. A few popular venues include Stars at Oakoasis County Park, Stars at Sycamore Canyon Nature Preserves (both East and West), Kumeyaay Lake Campground, Stars-in-the-Park at Balboa Park, and at our dark site located at Tierra Del Sol during “Public Night.” Please check for these and other program dates listed in our Public Calendar link included below.
We host public programs that are attended by thousands of visitors each year. Check our calendar before attending a given event to see if it is canceled due to inclement weather or other conflict. Our Outreach members are available at most events to answer your questions about the night sky, and using equipment such as binoculars, telescopes and sometimes live imaging systems. Event details are posted on our calendar at the following link:
