Events

To the uninformed, astronomy might be dismissed as simply 'looking through a telescope at the stars'. Amateur astronomers know that nothing could be further from the truth. There are more avenues astronomical exploration and participation than can be enjoyed in a lifetime!

The diversity of MAS-sponsored events is testament to this variety. There is literally something for everyone whether novices considering their first telescope purchase or advanced amateurs pursuing scientific research purely for the joy of discovery and contribution.
