Bring your Telescope with its accessories and manuals to Fox Astronomical Observatory on Saturday evenings. We’ll teach you to set up and align your telescope and how to find things to look at in the night sky.

It’s a free service of the South Florida Amateur Astronomers Association (SFAAA), operators of Fox Astronomical Observatory at Broward County’s Markham Park.

The Observatory is open to the public Saturdays from Sunset until Midnight.

The park is located at 16001 W SR 84 at Weston Rd Sunrise FL 33326. Take I-75 North past the Western end of I-595, take the new Weston Road exit. Turn right at the Weston Road traffic signal. Once in the park at the four-way stop sign turn left, then make your first right, and go to the end of the road. Please dim your headlights.

The SFAAA is a non-profit organization, donations welcome, annual memberships. Members receive monthly e-mail newsletter containing color astronomical pictures taken in South Florida by SFAAA Members!!
