Astronomy On Wheels (AOW) is a club sponsored education community out-reach program that brings astronomy to the public. It was also the first astronomy educational out-reach program in the greater Houston area.

Club members bring their own telescopes or club loaner scopes and conduct star parties for schools, scout groups, as well as an occasional church or homeowners association. Over the years the size of an AOW event has ranged from 50 to well over 1,200 students, teachers, parents and guests. Depending on the event, club members may give a PowerPoint presentation before explaining the science of astronomy. They may also give talks explaining the mechanics of telescopes.

The preference is to schedule AOW events either Thursday (1st choice), Tuesday (2nd choice) or Wednesday evenings.
