For more than sixty years, a friendly place for Western New Yorkers who love the night sky.The Buffalo Astronomical Association is an organization composed of people from all walks of life who share in common a love for the wonders of the universe. Our goal is the preservation of astronomy on the amateur level and to this end we pledge our talents and resources. Member interests within our organization vary tremendously. We have telescope designers, telescope makers and telescope users. Members observe visually and image the night sky using drawing, film and digital techniques. We even have armchair astronomers who prefer theory to observation. We have experts and beginners of all ages working together to further our understanding of the universe around us. Members share experience and good fellowship through many and varied activities. Latest NewsMay 10, 2008 Please join us at the Beaver Meadow Observatory as we celebrate National Astronomy Day.
