The public is always welcome. Following the presentation and a break for refreshments, members conduct the business meeting. Public Telescope Viewing is conducted by Astronomy club members after the Friday evening Planetarium Show. You don't need a telescope or binoculars, but warn clothes are a good idea. Faint nebulae, distant galaxies and meteor showers are observed under optimal conditions.
Members often combine cameras with telescopes to produce spectacular astro-photographs.
Anyone with an interest in the night sky can join the West Texas Astronomers. Just visit the Blakemore Planetarium, or come to any club sponsored event and speak with an officer.
