What would a school astronomy club do during the day (which is the only time we can meet). Nothing stupid like making bottle rockets or sundials, though. Serious stuff. thanks :)
 
Actually, they could study star charts and discuss what their members saw during the previous evenings, prior to their meetings. (Club "homework")

They may do "projects" like display personal "space" photographs taken by members.
They can make plans to view the International Space Station, as it passes over their area, or perhaps any comets or other "space" events happening that month, such as stars or planets coming close to the moon, whatever stirs their imaginations.

Some clubs may actually build their own telescopes, or at least earn how to build them.

Lots of Astronomy work, and events can not be followed during the day time on the internet. Anyone can visit NASA's website too.

"Live feeds" from space shuttle and Sky Lab are available on the NASA site and other weblinks.
Remember, that when its day time on part of the earth, the other half is still in the dark.

The list of activities for an Astronomy Club are almost endless.
