The Starlight Astronomy Club at their January 17, 2013
meeting.
Meetings are held monthly on the third Thursday of the month at Penn-Mont Academy in Hollidaysburg. (See the schedule.) Public sky watches are conducted on the third Friday of the month (the Friday evening after the club meeting) from April through October at Canoe Creek State Park. (See the schedule.) Cloud dates are the following Saturday evening.
One of the primary benefits of membership in the Starlight Astronomy Club is the opportunity for membership in the Astronomical League. The League is designed to be an association of affiliated clubs. Individual members enjoy the benefits of a quarterly newsletter, access to excellent instructional programs, observing clubs, and opportunities to participate in conferences, symposiums, and expeditions.
