(AVAC) was founded in 1981, and incorporated as a 501 (c)(3), nonprofit corporation, in 1999, to bring the beauty of the night sky to the families of the Antelope Valley. The AVAC provides programs for schools and other organizations on request. We put on presentations at local schools, state and county parks, and anywhere the sky is dark. We also do daytime educational and solar events. The AVA
C is located in the Antelope Valley, which is located in north-eastern Los Angeles County. Our monthly meetings are held at the SAGE Planetarium in Palmdale, CA. Our members come from all over the valley, and as far away as Torrance and Long Beach. Members range in experience from beginner to advanced. The AVAC offers a friendly, learning environment. It is a member of NASA's Night Sky Network and the Astronomical League and offers their quarterly newsletter, discounts, and observing programs at no additional cost to members. The AVAC maintains a lending library for members with telescopes and accessories of various designs and for a diverse range of experience.
