Membership Information
Information for members and those that are interested in becoming members.

Club Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month. The meetings will be held at 19:30 (7:30 pm) at the Observatory or the Medicine Hat College in winter months.

Members Nights are usually on the Friday closest to the New Moon. This night is a time for members to discuss various subjects related to astronomy and astrophysics. We will look at special objects or work on club projects. We have watched astronomy or space related videos and followed with discussions.

Open House nights are held on the second Saturday of every month, weather permitting. In the summer months, the best observation times are after 22:30. In winter months, the nights can get cold but the cold air makes observing better as the sky is clearer.

Members are expected to assist at open houses from time to time. There also be other projects that members can assist with in the operation of the club. Volunteering for Visitor Nights are a good way to learn more about astronomy.
