Welcome to the Central Wyoming
Astronomical Society or CWAS for
short. A small group of people who
are interested in amateur astronomy.
On the events calendar, you can find out
when the Central Wyoming Astronomical
Society will meet again for the monthly
meeting. Or you can find out when we will
have our next public sky observation and
where we will be holding that event.
On the information page you can learn
about various topics such as the sun or a
distant galaxy, or even our very own moon.
We even take requests. If you are curious of
a object and want to know more about it,
contact the website administrator on the
contact page and tell him what you want to
know and he will do his best to get that
information onto the information page.
On the photo page you can see
some of the telescopes the club
uses as well as special events.
New ones are posted occasionally
so check back often.
Swing by the contact page to let us
know what you think. All comments
and questions are welcome. We
also take requests if you want to
see something on the website.
Curious of planetary trivia. On the
fun facts page, there are 5 good
trivia about the sun and each of
the planets in our solar system.
And last but not least, there are
the links to various astronomy
related topics such as the Hubble
site or NASA. Are you wanting to
buy a telescope but don't know
where you can get one? You can
find reputable dealers for
telescopes and other optical
equipment on the
links page. You
can also learn how you can do your
part in keeping the skies dark at
night by avoiding light pollution.
The Dark Skies Association can tell
you all about it. Want to look
through a observatory telescope
with your own eyes. You can and
