Description

An astronomy discussion group for Alaskan astronomy enthusiasts, novices and anyone else interested in Astronomy and Alaska. That means you don't have to be an Alaskan to join in!


NOTICE TO SPAMMERS - NEW MEMBERS ARE MODERATED AT FIRST SO DON'T BOTHER SPAMMING HERE!


Please no flames, spams, politics or religion. Otherwise we are a rather laid-back and open-topic group.

Welcome!
