Create your account to access the new-member packet, pay your dues, and use the members area. After registering you'll get a one-click verification email — you'll need to click that link before you can sign in.

Strongly recommended: use a password manager. We suggest Bitwarden — free, open source, runs on every platform. It generates a 16+ character password automatically and fills it in for you.

Password requirements
  • At least 12 characters total
  • At least 1 uppercase letter (A-Z)
  • At least 1 lowercase letter (a-z)
  • At least 2 digits (0-9)
  • At least 2 special characters (anything not alphanumeric)
  • Not already in the public breach database (checked when you save)
  • Expires every 6 months — or every 12 months if you enable two-factor authentication

We collect phone and mailing address so the Treasurer can reach you about dues, the newsletter can be mailed if you prefer print, and emergencies (key handoffs at the observatory, severe-weather observing-night calls, etc.) can be coordinated quickly.
