Welcome to the

San Jose Astronomical Association

Automated Membership Application Form

Before we talk about membership, please note that all activities are open to all who are interested, and you are most welcome to come along and participate in any and all of them. Be assured that you are most welcome at all observing sessions. The only thing amateur astronomers like better than looking through their telescopes is to have other people look through their telescopes!

The annual dues include some very practical benefits: eligibility for our loaner scope program, use of the SJAA mailing list, regular receipt of our bulletin, the SJAA Ephemeris and an optional reduced subscription rate to Sky & Telescope magazine. Members may vote in club elections and hold office. Finally you will be supporting SJAA's programs.

There are two ways to join the club. The first and easiest is to use the PayPal service on this page. The information for your membership will be immediately transmitted to our membership chairman. If you would prefer to use the manual method you can either use the form printed in your Ephemeris or use the manual form and snail mail it to SJAA.

Please note that if you subscribe to Sky and Telescope you should renew your subscription at least 2 months before the expiration date on your S&T label.
