Prime Focus is the monthly publication of the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society. Most issues contain an event calendar, meeting minutes, sky highlights, all-sky star map, and articles by guest authors and KAS members.  The latest issue is available to current KAS members only, but past issues are made available to everyone as a courtesy.  If you would like to receive the latest issue then please consider becoming a KAS member.  All issues below are in PDF format, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 or later is recommended).
