The LAAS owns the Steve Kufeld Astronomical Site in Lockwood Valley. The facility is named after the inventor of the TELRAD, a device that enhances the abilities of the telescope and does not magnify or invert the sky. The society uses the site to host dark sky parties.
LAAS allows society members and select guests to join the parties. Participants have access to 2.5 acres of land south of Mount Pinos, where no city lights shine. They can bring their own telescopes to observe the night sky. Outlets setup on 57 concrete pads are provided to power personal equipment. Two large reflecting telescopes supplied by the organization are also available on site for participants to take turns using. The Clyde-O-Scope is a 31-inch telescope that uses a Bartelized Alt-Az mount. The society’s 16-inch telescope sits on an equatorial mount.
