January 2026
In this issue of the Astrofiles newsletter, we introduce new leadership for the Auburn Astronomical Society, with incoming president Jim Harstad outlining plans to reconnect members through virtual meetings in early February and gather input on revitalizing club activities and future directions. This issue also spotlights an upcoming outreach event on February 28 at Camp Hobbs, where members are invited to bring telescopes and assist with a large Boy Scout stargazing program.
December 2025
In this issue of the Astrofiles newsletter, we mark the end of the year with reflections on winter observing, potential AAS leadership changes, and plans for upcoming observing events. We also highlight January as “Jupiter Month,” feature a member-written article on the 90th anniversary of Los Angeles’s Griffith Observatory, and conclude with a brief guide to observing the winter constellation Canis Major.
November 2025
In this issue of the Astrofiles newsletter, members are encouraged to enjoy the clear winter skies ahead of the 2026 solstice, and the club announces that Allen Screws is stepping down, prompting the need for someone to step up as president to coordinate the club’s outreach events. The editor also notes an upcoming transition away from Microsoft Publisher for the newsletter. This month’s feature highlights Cassiopeia—its distinctive “W” shape and clusters M52, M103, and NGC 7789—alongside an image of “Caroline’s Rose” taken with a Seestar S50.
