But before I join and send money I would like to know what kinds of information will be avalible to me through your web site, as well as ways in which I might participate locally. In other words, I would like to know my privileges if I become a member. What you see is what you get. The site is updated weekly, with the latest in technical articles, member's activities, hardware, software, photos, newsletters, press releases, columns, reading lists, film reviews, editorials, etc. If there's more you want and don't see, as a member you'll have an opportunity to help the site grow further.
Local participation is limited only by the individual member's time and commitment.
We have a network of volunteer Regional Coordinators to assist our 750 members in 41 countries on 6 continents. Once you are a member, we invite you to contact your nearest coordinator to find out about local activities, or start some yourself. Our major activity, of course, is Project Argus , a coordinated search of the heavens for signs of intelligent life. Your membership dues make it all possible. Members and non-members alike are invited to participate in our Public email discussion list .
