Aurora

Astronomical

Association

Last Update: 6 September 2003.


National Astronomy Day News

Our Inaugural Meeting was held on Saturday, April 28th, 2001, at the Aurora Public Library in Aurora, Colorado. It was decided by the charter members that we would meet from now on, every Wednesday on or before the Full Moon.

We will start out being a low-key organization—no officers, no by-laws, and no dues. Just Astronomy, observing, and comraderie.

Club News

The Aurora Astronomical Association is now a member of the Astronomical League. Contact your club Astronomical League Correspondent (ALCor), Leroy Guatney, for info on how to join. Click the link above, or to the right, to open a new window to the AL website.

Schedule News

Our 2004 meeting dates have been approved. See the planning calendar below for 2004-5. I had to move our 11/24 date to 11/17 since the Library will close early that day for Thanksgiving.
