Observing Programs of the Astronomical League

The Astronomical League has promoted Observing Programs since 1967. Aaron Clevenson, an AL Observing Program Director, will give a presentation of where the Observing Program Division has been, where it is today, and where it is going in the future. Currently there are over 70 Observing Programs offered, covering everything from novice to Expert, Naked-Eye Observing to Telescopes, every imaginable type of astronomical object, and some specialty categories for the adventurous. At the conclusion of the talk we hope you will decide to tackle one or more of the Observing Programs, you should have the information you need to determine which Observing Programs are for you, and how to approach them.
