Now Entering Our 62^nd Year.  With the onset of monthly programs this fall at Peyton Hall we continue the quest of exploring AAAP’s opportunities in amateur astronomy.  The past few years speakers drew our interest to the details of the amazing output of the James Webb Telescope, and this brought to the fore other interest within the club in imaging technologies.  This amplified our own exploration of CMOS sensors and optoelectronics technologies in pursuit of seeing the cosmos despite the serious problem of light pollution. 

Not so long ago, back in the fall of 1962 in the early years of the space race, AAAP filed for legal incorporation as a non-profit organization. We have met nearly every month (Sept-June) without fail ever since.  I hope to see you at the meeting in Peyton Hall Sept 10.  Whether by Zoom or in person, these meetings are the essence of the club and we urge all new and experienced members to participate. There are amazing advances happening in amateur astronomy that we can sort out together.  For this season we will continue Zooming the monthly meetings live from Peyton Hall. We have some exciting programs lined up and hope you will join us on Sept 10 at 7:30pm for the kick-off of the new season in Peyton Hall.
