About
West Valley Astronomy Club

membership limited to residents of local solar system 

We are located in the West Valley, some 15 miles west of Phoenix.

Annual dues are $20.00 for a family.

Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings.

The club has been in existence for over 21 years. We meet six times from September to May. Staff Astronomers from Arizona observatories present programs about their work at our meetings. We plan field trips to nearby national and university observatories.

Our dark skies group meets monthly. We have some of the best weather and "seeing" conditions to be found anywhere in the United States.

Telescopes are set up for observing after the talk.
