This Only Happens Once Every Few Years…
And It’s About to Light Up the Entire Telescope Industry.
In January 2026, something rare happens in Arizona.
Not just another astronomy event.
Not just another sale.
Not just another industry gathering.
This is a convergence.
The 247th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS)
Phoenix Convention Center
January 4–8, 2026
And right at the center of it all?
Farah Payan, the Woodland Hills Camera and Telescope. And the global telescope industry.
Why This Moment Matters (Even If You Never Attend AAS)
Every major advancement in amateur astronomy over the last few decades shares one common thread:
Access to the right tools.
At the right moment.
Through the right people.
Farah Payan and the Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope team have been quietly shaping that access for generations—helping beginners become observers, observers become imagers, and imagers become contributors to real science.
Now, that legacy is stepping onto one of the biggest professional astronomy stages in the world.
At AAS 247, they’ll be there to:
-
Support ZWO and the advanced imaging revolution
-
Stand with the telescope industry
-
Represent the amateur astronomer on the professional stage
-
Help define where astronomy goes next

Bigger Than a Sale
It’s About Who Gets to Discover Next.
Professional astronomers will unveil new research at AAS 247.
But the next breakthrough might come from:
-
A backyard imager
-
A student with their first telescope
-
A family seeing Saturn for the first time
-
Or someone who finds their path through this very sale
That’s the power of what Farah Payan and Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope represent:
Two Ways to Be Part of History
Attend AAS 247 in Phoenix (Jan 4–8, 2026)
Or join the global celebration online (Jan 1–15, 2026)
Either way, you’re connected to one of the most meaningful moments the telescope industry will experience in years.
The Universe Is Expanding.
The Tools Are Evolving.
And This January… So Is Access.
Congratulations to Farah Payan and the entire Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope team on this extraordinary milestone.
And to everyone reading this:
Your next great discovery might begin in January.
