The club is organized into a number of interest and service committees, supporting all areas of astronomy and public relations.
AAI also conducts an annual Qualified Observers Course, where members are instructed to operate our 24-inch Cassegrain telescope. A Senior Qualified Observers Course is available for QO’s wishing to operate our 10-inch refracting telescope.
AAI is a non-profit organization; therefore, any donation, large or small, is greatly appreciated and is tax deductible.
