Observing Sessions: SMAS schedules two member Observing Sessions each month, on the Saturdays closest to the Third Quarter and New Moons. An Observing Session is for SMAS members only, and their guests. Guest attendance during an Observing Session is limited. Observing sessions are held at NCEEC/NCO.

Other: SMAS schedules additional programs for members throughout the year. These may include special Observing Sessions based on specific astronomical phenomena, such as meteor showers and eclipses, as well as activities, such as field trips to other observatories.
