The Astronomical League is a not-for-profit alliance of amateur astronomical societies whose purpose is:

To promote the science of astronomy:

  • By fostering astronomical education;
  • By providing incentives for astronomical observation and research; and
  • By assisting communication among amateur astronomical societies.

The Astronomical Leagues is composed of over 232 local amateur astronomical societies, with more than 16,000 individual members from all across the United States. These organizations, along with our Members-at-Large, Patrons, and Supporting members, form one of the largest amateur astronomical organizations in the world. Our basic goal is to encourage an interest in astronomy (and especially amateur astronomy) throughout America. We do this through educational and observational programs for the amateur astronomer.

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers supports The Astronomical League.
