Membership Information

Membership in the Society is open to anyone 10 years old or more. Members 16 years old or more may vote and hold office, but all may participate in our activities.

Ownership of a telescope is NOT a requirement for membership. Those members without a telescope are encouraged to learn to use the telescopes owned by the Society. Many of our members have made their own telescopes. Others own a wide variety of commercially made telescopes.
