Welcome to LVAAS

General News

 WELCOME to the LVAAS Web SiteLVAAS Members:  The annual August Meeting at Pulpit Rock has been moved up to Saturday, July 13th at 7:00 pm, with raindate that Sunday.  The August General Meeting will instead be at South Mountain on Sunday, August 11 at 7:00 pm.  Please see the Meetings, General Meetings webpage for more details. Welcome to the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society web site.  LVAAS is a non-profit organization comprised of individuals with a wide range of interest in astronomy.  LVAAS is located in eastern Pennsylvania, near Allentown.  The society was chartered in 1957 and is one of the oldest continuously operating astronomical societies in the country.

LVAAS operates two meeting/observing sites.  The main headquarters are located on South Mountain, near where Rt. 78 and Rt. 309 meet.  The society also has a dark sky observing location near Hamburg, about 25 miles west of Allentown.  Both locations house a number of society scopes.  Please click the menu choices on the left, under the Facilities label to learn more about the society's facilities..               

If you are interested in learning about astronomy, or are already a seasoned observer, you are welcome to join LVAAS.  Perhaps the most important thing for beginners to know is that they are welcome to join.  Our members have a wide range of skills and knowledge, and there is no better way to learn astronomy than to join the society and interact with many individuals with similar interests.

Even if you are not interested in joining LVAAS, please feel free to attend our monthly Star Parties.  These events are a great way to learn more about astronomy, look through the clubs telescopes and find out about current astronomical events.  LVAAS star parties are appropriate for adults and children of all ages.  It's a great way for the family to enjoy a night out.  For detailed information on LVAAS Star Parties, click here: Star Parties .  Hope to see you there!

Bus trip cancelled

General News

2013 Bus Trip CANCELLED

We are sorry to report that the 2013 LVAAS bus trip to the DC area has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

We sincerely apologize to those few who signed up and were looking forward to the trip, but it became painfully obvious that there was no way we could achieve the minimum number of participants.

If you signed up and paid, please contact our treasurer (see "Contact Us" page) to arrange for your full refund to be either mailed or picked up by you.
