ASH Edward L. Naylor Astronomical Center

From AstronomyOutreach network

ASH Edward L. Naylor Astronomical Center was formed in 1955 and has over 110 paid memberships. Counting family members and individual paid memberships we have over 110 members. We are one of the largest astronomy organizations in the state. In 1966, the society bought land to construct our Edward L Naylor Astronomical Center, which opened up in 1967. The society's members share a wide variety in interests in astronomy including basic astronomical observation, astrophotography, telescope making, radio astronomy, comet hunting, meteorics, planetary sciences, CCD imagery, Earth orbiting satellite observations, and many other topics. Some members have decades of experience, and some are just starting out. Some members have fine equipment of their own, and some don't own a telescope. Whatever your situation is you are sure to find a home and friends within the society and others having a similar level of experience as yourself.

The primary objective of this society shall be to promote the interest, education and advancement of its members in amateur (observational) astronomy. The Society also considers as important the education of the public in astronomy, astronomical research, space exploration, the fight against light pollution and other areas of interest that are closely related to astronomy.

As stated in our bylaws ASH's mission is, "to promote the interest, education and advancement of its members in amateur (observational) astronomy. The Society also considers as important the education of the public in astronomy, astronomical research, space exploration, the fight against light pollution and other areas of interest that are closely related to astronomy.”
