Interested in astronomy
and don’t know where to begin? Well, you’ve found the right
place!
Why not come and join us as a guest? We can help you learn to
use your telescope or binoculars. And if you don’t own an
instrument, we can give you some practical advice on how and
where to begin.
Should you become a member, we’ll even loan you a telescope to
get you started. We’ll have star parties during the year and you
can have an opportunity to learn from experienced observers.
We have a meeting for the beginner at 7:00 pm on the first
Friday of each month at the University of Houston. This meeting
is followed by a General Membership meeting at 8:00 at which all
sorts of interesting presentations are featured.
Want to learn more about what we’ll be doing this year? Point
your mouse to Meetings and then to Novice Meetings or send me an
e-mail for a personal invitation
The schedule is not cast in concrete, so if there is a consensus
for change we will do so.
Please plan to attend. All HAS members are invited - - you don’t
have to be a novice! Any questions may be directed to me, Justin
McCollum.
We expect to hold several Novice Star Parties during the year.
These activities will be announced in advance and, of course,
all HAS members are invited. |
