Between star parties, members may take these telescopes home for their own use. This is great for those who do not have their own equipment. Those wishing to volunteer receive hands-on training from established operators. In addition to filling a real need, the public observing sessions at the Bishop Museum allows members to meet and talk with the general public about astronomy. HAS members frequently hold star parties for school groups and others interested in astronomy.
Gatherings frequently attract sizable groups interested in seeing what the sky has to offer.
Members have also volunteered to judge at the Hawaii State Science Fair and the club has made awards to the best student astronomy project. HAS members may show their membership card to gain free admittance to shows at the Bishop Museum Planetarium. See the application form for details. Drop in and see what we have to offer.
