The Richland Astronomical Society is a nonprofit
organization formed in 1960 to promote the advancement of amateur astronomy.
Operating the Warren Rupp Observatory with its’ 31" f/7 telescope,
conducting an active public education program, regular monthly public
nights, and comet observing programs are just some of its’ many activities.
Our membership is as diverse as our hobby. We have teachers, doctors,
lawyers, law enforcement people, salespersons, publishers, computer programmers, building
contractors, appliance repairmen, electricians, photographers and just about any
profession and non-profession you can think of. They even allow people like me to join!
