Prescott Astronomy Club Information

The Prescott Astronomy Club, dedicated to the advancement of Astronomy. The Prescott Astronomy Club was founded in 1974 to provide a form for those interested in any aspect of the science of astronomy. The present group consists of a large community of members with a broad range of skills and interests. Some members prefer naked-eye astronomy, while others own large observatories. The goal of the Prescott Astronomy Club is to further the education of its members and the public in astronomy and related sciences by offering meetings, public lectures, information, public star parties, advice and school and community events to all who are interested in astronomy. We have members ranging in ability from beginners to semi-professional astronomers engaging in research activities.
