Amateur Observers’ Society of New York, Inc
The Amateur Observers Society of New York, established in 1965, was created as a means for astronomy enthusiasts of all ages to meet together. Their mission statement: to bring astronomy to the public and provide astronomy resources to members expresses our commitment not only to serve our members, but also to educate and inspire the public. Amateur Astronomy is about helping others, learning, doing, and having fun! In addition to sponsoring numerous stargazing activities in several places on Long Island, New York, they are actively involved with reducing the light pollution problem on the Island and throughout the state.
With members owning telescopes of all types and sizes they are more than eager to help with any questions you may have about sky observation, celestial photography, telescope purchasing or anything related to your astronomical interests. We invite you to join them in these events and at our monthly meetings in order to learn about and share our enthusiasm for celestial observation. They are an active club with lots to do and participate in. Equipment is not necessary. Come join us under the wonderful nighttime sky.
