What is the Astronomical League?
The
Astronomical League is a non-profit federation of Astronomical Societies and individuals
who share a love of the night sky. We currently have over 250 local
amateur astronomy organizations from all across the United States and Members-at-Large, Patrons, and Supporting members
from all over the Globe. These encompass well over 20,000 people
making us the largest amateur astronomy organization in the world. Our basic goal is to encourage an interest in
astronomy (and especially amateur astronomy). We do this through educational and
observational programs for the amateur astronomer. Anyone may join us as a Member-at-Large,
or through their local
astronomical society. For more information on the League's many
Observing Programs and the many other services the League affords it's members
please visit the Astronomical
League Home Page. The AL's homepage encompasses not only the services of the League, but also some of the history
(check out the story of our Logo while there), the structure and business side
and the latest Astronomical news!
