The WVAC is a friendly, engaging, and informative Astronomy Community in the West Valley. We have an exciting program of activites from September to May. We invite you all to participate in our activities. We think joining us will enhance your interest in astronomy and astroimaging while having fun at the same time. Consider becoming a member. Our active members use a variety of telescopes, mounts, cameras and electronics, do visual astronomy or electronically assisted astronomy with cameras, or astrophotography by processing many hours of data captured by electronic cameras. We actively share our knowledge and experience with young and old, novices or experts. Please visit our website WWW.WVAC.NET

The sky was clear, and although it was not a dark night, we had great views of the Moon, Venus, and Mars.
The attendees enjoyed looking through all the telescopes we brought to the event.
We also demonstrated the club’s Library Telescope for the first time and made people aware of the program in Peoria.
