The benefits of membership, apart from the obvious
friendship, is the ability to observe the night sky with more
experienced amateur Astronomers willing to help newcomers, and to
shareknowledge with other experienced Amateurs.
More experienced Observers are more than happy to give assistance and
advice on different telescopes and accessories when newcomers wish to
purchase such items and can give tips on better viewingtechniques.
Experienced observers can also help with information on observing
essentials like Red-LED torches, reading Sky Maps, correct warm
clothing, etc.
Members are entitled to borrow from the Association Library, which
enables you to borrow Eyepieces, Astro Books, Astro Magazines and any
other Astro accessories as the library grows, for up to onemonth at a
time.
This makes membership very cheap as most eyepieces and accessories in
the library are very expensive items to purchase, but are free for
members to use. We anticipate adding Telescopes to the libraryin the
near future, so if you do not own a telescope, you may borrow one.
Magazines and books can be borrowed immediately. Eyepieces and
Telescopes will be able to be borrowed after a period of 3 months
membership, but can be used on group nights.
On group viewing nights, members are not expected to stay all night until the wee hours.
Feel free to come and go as you please. The whole point of Astronomy is
to enjoy the experience, not force yourself to 'hang in there' waiting
for that elusive Galaxy to rear its head.
Feel comfortable to ask the more experienced members anything; we are all here to share our hobby.
