We are an observational astronomy research group which observes asteroids in our Solar System as they pass in front of distant stars in events called "occultations". These observations are critical for refining the precise locations of asteroids, as well as determining asteroid morphologies and topographies. This is an exciting field of research, and is incredibly helpful in assisting spacecraft missions (e.g., the NASA Lucy probe) which are traveling to visit asteroids. We are a hands-on, observational astronomy group; we set up small, portable telescopes to observe occultations, and we analyze our data and submit to researchers. We primarily observe in the local area, but occasionally we travel for more important occultations. In the past, members have participated in campaigns in Texas, New Mexico, Michigan, Kansas, New York, Mexico, Australia, and South Africa to observe the highest-importance targets.
