The AAC and its members enjoy sharing astronomy with the public at every opportunity. However, due to a large number of requests for star parties and other astronomy presentations, we must turn down many invitations. We have established a number of engagements throughout the year for the public and members which we must attend to first.

AAC membership is open to anyone with an interest in astronomy! Please check our Club Information and FAQ pages to understand how an astronomy club typically serves its community.

Teachers, scout directors and other not-for-profits are still encouraged to contact our School Liaison for requesting a star party or daytime presentation. These have included:

    Astronomy merit badges
    Classroom presentations
    Kid's Day
    Sensational Science
    Solar Walk presentations
    Summer camps
Requests by conventions, private parties and the like have been entertained (as far away as the Bahamas!) but may require a fee, sometimes substantial. These requests should be sent to the AAC President.
