• Club Meetings: ACL meets once a month and visitors are welcome to attend. Meetings are held on the second Friday of the month, starting at 7:00PM, in the teachers lounge of the Manzanita Charter School. The school is located at 991 Mountain View Blvd, Vandenberg AFB, CA 93437. For more information, see our locations page.

• Star Parties: are an informal gathering where club members bring their telescopes and meet to observe interesting objects (planets, the moon, nebulas, galaxies, etc.) in the night sky. Visitors are welcome to attend. If you don't have a telescope, no problem, our members will gladly let you look through their telescopes. For a better definition of a star party, see our events page.
  Note: Star parties are "weather permitting" and the number of club members attending can vary a great deal due to a variety of reasons. We can't guarantee you will find anyone there even if it's on our calendar. If you are participating for the first time, it is best to coordinate with a club member that is going.

• Other Events: If your group, school, or company, is interested in astronomy and would like ACL to do a presentation, or demonstration, please let us know. We call this "Public Outreach" and are happy to share what we know with the community.
