Welcome to the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada! Check out this post for information about our members-only area.
Document Library
This area will be populated with documents that may be necessary for all RASC members. This will include some of the past information included in the Members Area of rasc.ca. Centres and Committees can use this area to store documents relevant to their members as well.
Workgroups
These groups allow members to work on shared documents together. Some are tied to forums so that their members can also chat with one another. Many of the workgroups listed are private, which means you need to request to join. Most private workgroups are RASC Committees which are not usually open to new members, so don’t be surprised if your request is denied.
Forums (listserv)
These forums are replacing our current email lists (those that end with @lists.rasc.ca). Included here will be RASCals, our general discussion list and several other topic-specific lists (e.g. Astro-Sketchers, AstroImaging, Education, LPA). Many of these forums are open and available to members who have an interest in specific astronomy topics.
News
This is where we will occasionally be posting information that is relevant to all RASC members. It should also pop up on your Dashboard when you first login. Keep an eye out for new posts!
My Account
Here you can change your membership information. Help us out by ensuring your information is up to date.
Renew
Have you gotten a reminder to renew your membership? Head on over here to ensure you are receiving all the benefits you wish to receive. Note that now we will be securely storing credit card information on file so that you do not have to re-enter your credit card information every time you renew your membership.
eStore
RASC’s online store is now more secure and accessible than ever. Check out what we have for sale in this tab!
Questions? Trouble with your membership?
Let us know through the RASC Contact Us page. Note that this time is very busy for us as we ensure the new system is functioning properly, so it may take us several days to return your email. If the matter is not urgent, consider waiting a week or two after launch before letting us know.
Thank you for your patience!
This system will solve many problems we have had in the past. However, it is new, and we have a lot of work to do to ensure it is functioning properly in these first few days. We will do everything we can to ensure your experience is enjoyable and will continue to provide new services over the next few months.
Thank you,
RASC National Office
