Description
Club Overview
The Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston, Inc. (ATMoB) is an amateur astronomy club devoted to telescope making, observing, and studying the heavens. The ATMoB was founded in 1934 with the cooperation of Dr. Harlow Shapley at Harvard College Observatory. In 1973, the Bond Astronomical Society, another long-standing club, merged with the ATMoB making the club one of the oldest and largest general interest astronomy clubs in the country.
The mission of the ATMoB is to engage in, to encourage others to engage in, and to provide instruction and facilities for the design, construction and use of telescopes and other astronomical instruments, and in general to promote interest in amateur observational astronomy and the instruments used therefore.
We meet formally every month (except August) to hear a speaker, to discuss club activities, and to socialize. Past speakers include Phillip Morrison, Owen Gingrich, David Malin, Brian Marsden, and many others.
