Welcome to the NEW 5A Website!!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the Amherst Area Amateur Astronomers Association's (5A's) new website!  It's now 12:10 AM on Tuesday and I just posted the entire site for the first time. The newest and most obvious addition is this blog.....the new place to not only see what we've BEEN doing, but what we will BE doing.  Find out about what we'll be looking at during our Observatory Programs or what celestial event will grace our skies next.  We encourage YOU (members and public alike) to post comments about programs and events that you may have attended.  

So, this past Friday we had our first regular meeting of 2010 where Club President Tom Whitney shared many original observing charts he has created for young moons, the Mars opposition, Venus at sunset, Mercury in 2010, Vesta in Leo during 2010 and the most striking and "S" asterism in Orion that many of us have most likely overlooked.  At the end of the meeting Tom quickly reviewed the public program attendance numbers for 2009. 

Please feel free to check out this new site and contact me (using the Email link at the bottom of the main page) if you find any issues. There are a few pages that I'm still working on and should finish in the next week or two.

Thanks!

-Kevin.
