The first Membership Meeting of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association (CAA) for 2020 will take place Monday, January 13. The meeting will feature a presentation by member Trevor Braun entitled, “Equipment for Amateur Astronomy 101.” Are you looking to buy a new, or perhaps upgrade/enhance your existing, telescope? Learn about the critical factors needed to make a decision, as well as some of the equipment and accessories you may want to consider as you begin to get ready for the 2020 observing season.

The CAA’s monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of every month except December at 7:30 p.m. in the Rocky River Nature Center; 24000 Valley Parkway; North Olmsted, Ohio, in the Cleveland Metroparks. Meeting programs are open to the public. Following the presentation and a brief social break, the club will conduct its membership business meeting.
