For over four decades theĀ Baton Rouge Astronomical Society has educated countless numbers of citizens in the joys of planetary and deep-sky gazing, the perils of light pollution and factors to consider when buying a pair of binoculars or a telescope. Over the years BRAS members have constructed their own telescopes and photographic platforms; and imaged comets, earned observing certificates and discovered asteroids. Anyone interested in learning more about BRAS is invited to attend. Walt Cooney, the man responsible for the majority of the asteroid discoveries at this site, will speak. [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]
