The Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association is a group of amateur astronomers working together to improve astronomical knowledge and appreciation as well as observation and astrophotography skills. BMAA members are a varied group of individuals who share curiosity about celestial objects and the sky. We make ourselves and our instruments available to promote public interest in astronomy.
We hold a monthly meeting at 7:30 PM on the first Wednesday of the month and are now conducting the meetings both in-person and on-line (Zoom). The meetings consist of lectures and demonstrations on astronomy as well as discussions about equipment, techniques and observing experiences. The meetings are once again open to the public at the Upper Dublin Lutheran Church (411 Susquehanna Rd, Ambler PA). If you prefer to attend on Zoom, please send a request to info@bma2.org and we will email you the link. We look forward to seeing you in-person or on-line!
We have also resumed our astronomy-related educational outreach and special programs for schools, youth groups and civic organizations. Please contact us at info@bma2.org or send us a message via our contact form.
Finally, we have also resumed our monthly star-watches at the Tohickon Boat Launch area in Lake Nockamixon State Park. Information about the star watches can be found on the News and Events pages of our website (http://blog.bma2.org).
