About Us :

The GRAAA - in existence for over fifty years - has members of all ages and levels of interest. This varied membership participates in many astronomical related activities both as groups and individual efforts.

The Association meets each month at 7:30 PM. The topics at the general meetings are on various subjects which are of interest to amateur astronomers, featuring speakers from outside the organization as well as club members who have expertise in different areas of astronomy. Most meeting are held at the James C. Veen Observatory near Lowell, MI. Winter meetings are held at alternate locations announced in the newsletter or online (the Events Calendar section).

The association also participates in public education activities, comet watches, meteor observing, as well as opening our observatory to the public two nights per month. Besides the public education programs, members involve themselves in many other pursuits from observing programs to astrophotography and CCD imaging.

The GRAAA is an organization that offers something for just about anyone who is interested in astronomy, regardless of age or level of knowledge. We invite any person who is interested to become a member.
