Our meetings feature great Guest Speakers – distinguished astronomers, including staff astronomers from various observatories and professional astronomers at universities. A range of topics in space-science, astronomy and astrophysics are covered at the meetings and include discussion of technologies involved – cameras, spectroscopy and other instrumentation.
The agenda often has show-and-tell presentations by club members or small workshops, and normally includes updates on club activities and announcements. Coffee and cookies are available, and we generally have door prizes and a 50/50 Raffle.
We meet nine times a year from September to May. General Meetings are held first Tuesday of the month unless indicated (*).
We welcome all visitors. If you enjoy the program we ask that you show your appreciation by contributing monetarily or by becoming a member.
