ABOUT OAA
All OAA programs are free and open to the public!
The OAA is Savannah's group for those interested in astronomy and space science, continuously active for over 35 years.
OAA members range in experience from those just getting started in astronomy to individuals actively conducting
leading edge research in space science, so everyone with an interest in astronomy is welcome.
(Since we spend a lot of time looking at clouds, those interested in meteorology are also encouraged to attend!)
Dues are $20.00 a year and subscriptions to Astronomy and Sky and Telescope are available at group rates. The OAA is
also a Member Society of the Astronomical League.
This home page contains meeting times, upcoming events, and other information of interest.

The OAA normally meets on the second Thursday of the month at the Oatland Island Education Center, at 7:00pm.
After the business part of the meeting, there is usually a program relating to astronomy or space science. These programs
range from how newcomers to astronomy can get started to technical presentations on the latest in space science.
If you plan to attend our meetings, there is a electronically controlled gate which requires the use of an access code.
The access code is #7827 for the duration of the OAA meeting. If you have a problem getting through the gate, please call
Kevin on his cellphone @ (912) 401-8634.
