About SJAC


Club Meetings are usually a combination of presentations prepared by club members and discussions initiated by group individuals. Meetings loosely follow the itenary below.

  • What's Up - astronomical events to look forward to during the next month
  • Presentation - "Constellation Of The Month", "Astronomers", or some astronomical related event
  • Observing Reports - club members let us know what they have been looking at of if they have seen anything special
  • Show & Tell - club members "show off" any new astronomy related acquisitions
  • Club Business - attend to any necessary club business
  • Project Updates - discuss and update any current projects undertaken by the club

In addition, our members also participate in annual Astronomy week activities (usually held in late April or Early May), public viewing sessions, training lectures (for community groups or schools), and provincial or national activities that assist member organizations such as NBANB (New Brunswick Astronomy / Astronomie Nouveau-Brunswick) and RASC

Our membership includes a wide composite of expertise, from individuals who just have a desire to observe the celestial bodies to experts in such fields as physics, optics and telecommunications. They are all eager to assist and answer any questions.
