AAC has seven regular attenders. Some of us enjoy sky lore and naked-eye viewing. Some enjoy astronomy and cosmology theories. Some enjoy telescope technology and viewing. We try to include something for everyone in our meetings. All are welcome—with or without experience in astronomy.

AAC has a growing library of books and DVDs which any who attend may check out.

 

The Bundaberg Astronomical Society was established in 1963, its main observatory,Alloway Observatory, was built in the same year to house the Percy Fielding Telescope a 19 inch Newtonian Reflector.

 

The observatory is open to the public every Friday Night from 7:00 pm.

We are a  group of  amateur astronomers, telescope makers, astrophotographers, and educators who live in the Grants Pass area of Southern Oregon.  A group of like minded individuals who enjoy astronomy.

 

Even if you don't have a telescope you can still join us for an exciting time viewing.  See amazing objects that are impossible to see with the naked eye.

 

We strive to get young people involved with astronomy and science. Our regular viewing nights usually happen at different schools through out the Grants Pass area.

The Naperville Astronomical Association is a non-profit astronomy club with a membership of over two-hundred individuals and families, mainly from the southwest Chicagoland (Illinois, USA) area. What we share is an interest in exploring the universe beyond our planet, both with our eyes and our minds. What we have found is that our enjoyment of our hobby can be enhanced when we share it with others; the young with the old, the beginner with the advanced amateur and the professional.

NS45? What's this Club all about-?

The name of this club is Night Sky 45.  
The name refers to our favorite subject to view and Salem's location on the 45th parallel (latitude).
NS45 met for the first time in April 1999.
Night Sky 45 is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the enjoyment and education of astronomy and related subjects to members and the general public. Membership is open to anybody interested in astronomy and the night sky, regardless of experience or knowledge.  Ownership of a telescope is not a requirement for membership.
Night Sky 45 was formed primarily as a viewing club, allowing people who share an interest in astronomy and related topics to join with others to share knowledge and observing experiences.
While not a requirement for membership, we encourage members to share their interests and knowledge with members of the local community to further the enjoyment and understanding of astronomy and related topics

The Vernonia Peak Observatory (VPO) is a private research facility owned and operated by the Northwest Astronomy Group (NWAG); a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Our facilities are located in the coast range of northwestern Oregon and are situated roughly halfway between the cities of Portland and Astoria.


The NWAG is composed of amateur astronomers from a diverse range of backgrounds which include but are not restricted to materials science, electronic and structural engineering, physics, computer science and software engineering, geology, and education. These talents when conjoined with the ability and desire to achieve our goals help to make NWAG and the Vernonia Peak Observatory a promising vehicle for public education and private amateur research.


More information regarding the NWAG, its activities, and the Vernonia Peak Observatory may be accessed via the links on this website. Please accept our invitation to peruse it. There are a number of pages accessible from sub-menus on many of these pages. In addition: if you have any questions or comments feel free to contact us.

Our club started in 1995, mostly club members on the eastern side of SD. We have a private observing site in Beresford SD. Hodgson's Observatory that houses a 25 inch Obsession and 10 inch solar scope(both housed in separate buildings).  Our members volunteered time and equipment to build a 24'x24' outreach educational building which is offered to bring in on location school aged students for hands on programs and visual vewing on our solar scope. We also push our astronomy outreach educational program to clubs and other interested parties. Check out the photo galleries on all three sites.
