About SAS

Welcome letter from the SAS President Jeff Baldwin.

About the SAS

The purpose of the SAS is to foster interest in, and promote the general knowledge of, astronomy and related sciences ... and have fun in the process.
The SAS offers lecture and tutorial programs at our monthly meetings, public viewing opportunities at public schools, and monthly at San Joaquin Delta College, the Nature Nights program at Oak Grove Regional Park, the City of Stockton's Silver Lake Summer Camp, and special astronomical events.
The SAS was founded by a group of local astronomy enthusiasts led by Stockton physician Clarence Custer ... And we've been looking up ever since.

The meetings are held at the Delta College, Clever Planetarium (directions).
