Santa Cruz Astronomy Club

The Santa Cruz Astronomy Club serves all communities in Santa Cruz County, California and neighboring areas. Our emphasis is telescope observing, family participation, and public enjoyment of the wonders of the starry night. Check the events calendar for our schedule...

Welcome to our website, which includes club news, events calendar, and member blogs. Club members and interested parties can register for an account, then can enter observing reports as blogs, comment on articles, etc. We meet on the Second Thursday of every month at 7:30pm, at the Harvey West Park Scout House, and generally hold 2-3 star parties per month. Various of our club members volunteer to provide a viewing experience to the public. We'll do spontaneous sidewalk astronomy around the area, as well as occasional school and camp groups. If you're thinking of coming to one of our viewing events, its always a good idea to check the club's email list for last minute updates, you can view the most recent posts on the list archives
