The OAFs group is not affiliated with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) – we are not an official sub-group or sub-committee of any kind.
However, most (possibly all) OAFs are members of RASC Ottawa Centre, and we
- Recommend membership for anyone interested in Astronomy;
- Attend RASC meetings;
- Get together for dinner before RASC meetings;
- Provide telescope support for RASC star parties, in addition to the less-formal events we organize ourselves.
Because we are generally in attendance at RASC star parties, we provide this link to the RASC Star Party Schedule, and the following feed from their Facebook page:
