OverviewThe Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society was founded in 1963 for the purposes of increasing the astronomical knowledge and technique of our members and for public service in our community. Our goals are promotion of public education in astronomy, the continuation of useful research, and the preservation of unpolluted skies for future use of both the astronomer and the general public. We are located in Northeast Ohio just east of Cleveland.MembershipMembership is open to all persons, twelve years of age or older with an interest in and a commitment to the study of astronomy. Dues are $48.00 a year. Use of the observatory and quarterly newsletter, The Valley Skywatcher, are a privilege of membership. For information about joining CVAS, directions to the observatory or about our star parties, contact me at stevef@en.comMeeting Schedule
From November through April, monthly business meetings are held on the 1st Monday of every month at The Rookery, a Geauga County Metropark (this link opens to a Google map of the area.) Meeting time begins at 7:30 PM. A brief discussion session of an astronomy topic is held after the meeting. We will also have an observing session if the skies are clear. Members are available 30 minutes before each meeting to discuss astronomy related questions with the public and prospective members. For CVAS Members - Club Survey.
