MPG Open Observing Nights

The General Motors Astronomy Club (GMAC) hosts open observing nights at the Milford Proving Ground Softball Fields, typically on the Friday closest to the new moon, with Saturday as a rain date (or cloud date).  These events are open to the general public.  No badge or drive access is needed.  Members and non-members are encouraged to bring their own telescope or photography equipment, but, of course, no equipment is required to participate.

The following etiquette is expected at all GMAC-hosted observing nights:
1)	Park your vehicle such that the headlights are pointed away from the observing area, in case you need to leave early. If your schedule permits, please try to arrive before sunset.
2)	Minimize the use of bright white lights at the site, as they affect night vision and astrophotography. A small red flashlight is acceptable.
3)	In warm weather, bug spray is recommended to keep the mosquitos at bay, but be careful not to apply it near the telescopes as it can damage the optics.
4)	Always ask before approaching telescopes and be careful not to bump the scope or trip over wires.  Most amateur astronomers enjoy sharing their telescopes with others, but it is important to respect their equipment and wait for an invite before putting your eye to the eyepiece.
5)	Cameras are allowed and encouraged for astrophotography and group photos.  However it is strictly forbidden to photograph vehicles on GM property, regardless of the security status of the vehicle.  Be careful not to include ANY vehicles in your photographs.
