Due to the overall poor condition of the unpaved roads leading out to the observatory
and the saturation of the viewing field it has been decided that the observatory will
remain closed to both membership and the public until March 5th.
This is being done for not only the preservation of the viewing field but for your safety.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
