The Austin Astronomical Society has this to say...
The Radio Astronomy SIG is just getting off the ground and we're looking to connect with anyone interested in non-visual astronomy. For example using software defined radios or non-visual optical astronomy such as spectrophotometry.
Spectrophotometry -- [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry)
Area512 is the name we’ve given to our newly acquired telescope storage and maintenance facility where we intend to hold Scope Clinics to assist our members who may have mechanical or operational issues with their astronomy equipment. Area512 will also house our astronomy lending library and will be the focal point for our loaner scope program. We also plan to offer training/educational sessions and provide a place to meet mentors if you are just starting out in the hobby.
Help will be available for anyone with telescope equipment that needs repair, adjusting or simply training. We will also begin the construction of a base for one of the clubs dobsonian telescopes for anyone interested in building their own telescope.
Looking forward to seeing y’all there.
