The Fox Observatory &
South Florida Amateur Astronomers Association

The South Florida Amateur Astronomers Association was founded in 1965, with as its principal motivation to provide information and create an opportunity to participate. Ever since, its members have been bringing the universe closer to all South Floridians. From the innocent wonder of the children to the amazement of the adults, every night is another great adventure.

The SFAAA is a nonprofit organization, and has been incorporated in the State of Florida since 1966. The association presently makes its home just inside of Markham Park. Our monthly meetings are currently held at Fox Observatory the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm.

The Fox Observatory houses many great pieces of viewing equipment. Groups and individuals from the area or visiting South Florida are invited to see the Fox Observatory. In addition, anyone wishing to attend the association's monthly meeting is welcome and encouraged to do so. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month, and membership is open to the general public. Anyone wishing to join can do so at one of the monthly meetings or during a visit to the observatory on one of the open house nights.

As always, the observatory is open to the public every Saturday night. We try to open at dusk (or there about). We have been known to stay out till almost sunrise. Never hesitate to call and find out what's going on each Saturday night. 954-384-0442
