Founded on Apr 25, 2018
We are a group of night-sky-loving folks located in Brooksville, Florida who are in awe of those little twinkly lights overhead.
Most topics herein describe astronomical events in west-central Florida [roughly Tampa to Cedar Key, Gulf of Mexico to I-75]. See the EVENTS tab above for a complete listing.
This is a closed group with only one rule:
1. Be civil. Postings or cross-postings of non-astronomy-related subjects or personal attacks of any kind are not allowed.
Let's have some fun with discussions pertaining to this fantastic hobby!

Star Gazing at the Sparacia Winery, Brooksville
Weather permitting, this coming Wednesday evening could be fun and different as the Nature Coast Amateur Astronomers sets up their telescopes and binoculars at the Sparacia Familey Winery, 21509 Snow Hill Rd, Brooksville, FL 34601.
You are welcomed to bring your own telescope if you wish and join us as we peer into the abyss at one of the darkest night sky sites in the area. Sunset is at about 7:45PM and viewing will be best 30-60 minutes after that.
Four planets will be clearly visible: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. Plus, other fainter deep-sky objects promise to make their appearance.
There is no admission and all are welcome.
Hope to see you there, and remember to keep looking …
