Club Activities
Greetings. The San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers (SBVAA) take part in many activities in and around the Inland Empire. Our calendar is updated with our year's events.
Meeting:
We have regular monthly meetings typically held around the third Saturday of the month. We meet at the San Bernardino County Museum located at 2024 Orange Tree Ln, Redlands. Meetings begin at 7 pm with a pre-meeting dinner at the Loma Linda Hometown Buffet beginning at 4:30 pm. We also have an annual summer picnic in August and a holiday get-together in December.
Star Parties:
Each month on the Saturday nearest the new moon, we go out to a dark location for our club star party. Our star parties are typically relaxed, filled with comradely. Mostly we go out to the local deserts either in Joshua Tree or Lucerne Valley. Twice a year we go out to a very dark location in White Mountains called Grandview. A list of our Star Party locations.
Outreaches:
Several times during the year the club puts on outreaches for public viewing. We go out to local schools, churches or just hold the event at the San Bernardino County Museum. These are fun events to provide the public views of the night sky from within the city.
