The SFAA is pleased to announce that a mobile version of its web site is now available for use on whatever mobile device you may have at your disposal!!! So fire up your favorite hand held mobile geek apparatus and check out the SFAA Mobile Site by entering the following URL in to your device’s internet browser:
http://www.sfaa-astronomy.org/mobile
Just like our main site this mobile version is starting out small, and will soon grow to add some of the more complex pages we offer. For now the following pages are available at our mobile site:
- Calendar of Events complete with moon phase by day
- Lecture information
- Meeting information
- Star Parties information including the map to our Mt Tam Star Party site
- Mailing list links including archives
- Contact information for club officers
Please enjoy! ….and clear skies to you and yours.

….and here’s the inevitable disclaimer: There are just way too many mobile devices out there with too many different specifications and abilities. We have made a decision (due to limited time available for support) to only cater to the higher end devices that are able to show web sites almost in their entirety. But we did keep the lower end models in mind when designing this mobile site. It is built with minimal graphics and basic displays for quick loading on an EDGE/Non-3G network and on a tiny screen. It is quite possible that the mobile site will not work on your device of choice. Sorry, but we will not be taking requests to fix the site for a specific device. There just would be too much to keep up with, BUT….for sure Blackberry’s, iPhones, G1’s, higher end Nokia’s, etc should not have a problem displaying this mobile site.
