For the month of September, we will be having our meeting at UHCL, STEM Building, Room 1203 starting at 7:30.  Speakers should arrive by 7:00 to 7:15.  Our speaker for the September 8th Meeting is - Rich Wilbourn - who will speak about "Introductuon to Astrophotography for Photographers". Attendees should park in Parking Lots D3 or D4 no earlier than 7:00.   This will be a very interesting talk to hopefully develop some interest in basics and prodecures of astrophotography.

Please see the UHCL Map here -- Please park in lots D3 and D4. The STEM building is building #5 on the map. Come in from the east side and go left. When you come to the end of hallway, you should find the auditorium where the meeting will be.

Please see club emails and other distribution lists for details on where to log in. As our live meetings traditionally started at 7:30pm CST, so would our virtual meetings. Please make sure you are on our Youtube channel a few moments before 7:30pm. Bear with us as at the minimum, we'll try to record the meeting and then post it on the clubs YouTube page within a few days. Please join us for the August 11th meeting.

Our Youtube channel is here! When in doubt, get into YouTube and search for Johnson Space Center Astronomical Society. - there you will see the current meeting as well as previously recorded meetings!

AFTER the meeting... we are still planning on converging at our "usual" MOD Pizza for an after meeting gathering! By all means, please come out if you are in the area. Proposed meeting time at MOD's is 9:30-45 PM.

Announcements about meetings will be made over the clubs email list and on the clubs Facebook page. Get the link below to the club's YouTube page where you can view this upcoming meeting and also view some of the prior meetings of the club.

Changes will be coming to the website. Sadly​ as some know, under new rules of operation the Lunar Planetary Institute can no longer support our having our meetings at their location. Changes in contracts and operations have also changed their operational mission. From the best of our research, JSCAS has been meeting there since mid 1992. A Dr. David Black, the institute's founding director invited JSCAS to start meeting there at that time and the club has met there ever since. Prior to that, the club was meeting at a building called the "West Mansion" which is no longer there but was at the corner of NASA Rd 1, and Space Center Blvd. It turns out the lighting on the ceiling of the rotunda is in the formation of the constellation Taurus. While Dr. Black was of course a scientist, Tarus was the astrological sign under which he was born. So if the math is right, JSCAS has been meeting at the LPI for the last 31 years. We have fond memories of the relationship with the LPI during these years and hope that someday we can return.
