Ready for the Night Sky.

Dr. Myron Wasiuta talks to a few of the MSRO Science team about MSROStationTwo and its state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Outreach is where it all starts…

The real power of the MSRO suite of instruments is you. Without your curiosity about the night sky and desire to learn about and experience the dynamic changes just out of sight, none of this would matter. We focus on using our outreach programs to share the universe with you through these amazing modern instruments and the research we are doing here at MSRO Science.

Come and join us to share your experience and allow us to share ours with you. Together, we can share those experiences with others and contribute to the growing knowledge of the Universe.

Every year, we give presentations and talks to various groups about the MSRO and other work we are doing at MSRO Science. We regularly give presentations at the Rappahannock Astronomy Club (RAClub) monthly meetings along with annual talks at the North East Astro Imaging Conference (NEAIC) in Suffern, NY, the Almost Heaven Star Party (AHSP) in Spruce Knob, WV, and at local schools and other venues.
