David Knisley (sp?) made me aware of this organization just today.
Unfortunately, neither of the clubs in my area are affiliated (SDAA
and OPT). I plan on joining one of the local clubs (probably SDAA,
they're a bit closer) but was wondering about the benefits of an At
Large membership to the Astronomical League. Some of their
"Observation Clubs" look very interesting (I wish I'd known about the
binocular ones years ago).

Thoughts?

Hi:

While some of the AL's benefits apply specifically to clubs, most of them are
just as useable for a lone wolf as for a club member. See
