2019 Contact Information for Astronomy Clubs in the U.S.

#1

Post by helicon »

Here is a list of most of the Astronomy Clubs in the U.S. It’s a great idea to join your local club or society to meet new folks, hone your techniques, and get a chance to attend lectures and star parties. Just click on a state link to find a list in each state. Usually there is an address, phone number, contact e-mail address, and website.

Gordon, this one doesn't appear to be in the list:

Astronomical Society of East Texas (ASET)
website: http://www.asetexas.com/
email: info@asetexas.com

(I must confess to not being a member despite them being local to me, but I've considered joining.)

You don't seem to be too far from the Starlight Astronomy Club at Altoona, though that will depend on your travel options.

I have also seen reference to a Pitt-Johnstown Astronomy Club ( or at least there may have been one in 2011), so you could check out U Pittsburg at Johnstown.
