The Lincoln Hills Astronomy Group
general meetings provide residents, from
beginners to experts, with a forum to increase their
knowledge in astronomy, and to meet people with
like interests.

General meetings begin with an informal,
"What's New in Astronomy",  followed by the
main presentation, and finish with an informal
Q & A session.  Meetings are supplemented
with our annual planetarium trip.
