Amateur Astronomy: The Universe at your Fingertips

Would you like to take a trip to some of the most exotic and beautiful places in deep space without leaving the safety of Earth? Just imagine, exploring the surface of the moon, watching the weather on Jupiter, peeking into a stellar nursery, or gazing into the heart of a giant spiral galaxy. Amateur Astronomy delivers just that and much more!

Upcoming Meetings

Unless otherwise noted, PAC meetings are held at Hyde Memorial Observatory in Holmes Park South on the last Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm. Meetings are open to the public.

June Meeting

Instead of our regular monthly meeting, this month we’re having our annual “Nearest Star Party” — a look at our sun. Club members are encouraged to bring telescopes (with solar filters)!
