Supporting Our Communities

SRO believes in supporting our science education communities, as well as the mountain communities in which we operate. To this end, we are proud to serve as sponsors for the following good works:
  

Society for Astronomical Sciences (SAS)

We are delighted to extend our sponsorship to the annual SAS Symposium on Telescope Science, held every year in June. The Symposium highlights the latest astronomical research, and has become a premier event for both connecting amateur astronomers and for building pro-am collaborations.

Central Sierra Historical Society (CHS)

SRO is a proud annual sponsor for our mountain communities’ Central Sierra Historical Society’s Partnership in Education Program. CHS offers myriad education programs to schoolchildren through the Central Sierra Museum, based in nearby Shaver Lake, California. This year, the museum will be purchasing tablets to promote interaction through technology in tandem with their cultural and nature education programs, as well as circuit kits for students to learn about electricity and hydro power.

Robotic Telescopes, Student Research and Education (RTSRE)

SRO is excited to be a sponsor for this new conference, which provides a global perspective – integrating past, present, and future efforts – on student research and astronomy education. A diverse array of attendees and renowned presenters from around the world are scheduled to take part in this event.
