Sky Puppy Club
The Sky Puppies Club is designed just for the younger observer. The Astronomical League encourages young observers to hone their skills early since most hobbies and vocational interests begin at an early age.

Once completed, observing logs need to be turned over to our Observing Awards Officer, Richard Just for review.
