This is a great time to be into astronomy living near Cincinnati
Hey Cincinnati astronomy enthusiasts. There’s a lot of great stuff going on right now for people who are into amateur astronomy. I am affiliated with the Cincinnati Astronomical Society (cinastro.org) one of the oldest and largest amateur astronomy groups in the nation. Our group is hosting a national amateur astronomers conference here in August called ALCON2026 (alcon2026.org) in coordination with The Astronomical League. There will be speakers, happy hours, a keynote banquet and all sorts of activities during this conference which runs from August 12-15th.
Our group also recently announced our partnership with The Moeller Observatory, a new private research-class observatory in Adams County. This state of the art facility brings professional level astronomy into reach for amateur astronomers in our area. For more information on The Moeller Observatory check out moellerobservatory.org. Reach out to us through our contacts at cinastro.org to find out more information about CAS and how we are managing events at The Moeller Observatory.
These are really exciting times to be into astronomy for people who live around Cincinnati.
