Activities included star parties, meetings at the public library, and field trips, to the Pensacola Naval Air Station planetarium and centrifuge, to Spring Hill College observatory, to a high school astronomy club 100 miles (160 km) east-in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, The Walton County Astronomy Club.
Sponsor Dr. Wayne Wooten edited it for 40 years, and former student Nicole Gunter has taken it over as part of her journalism work at the University of Florida.
Activity resumed a few years later when the club founder Robert Blake returned to the area as a temporary replacement for the Pensacola Junior College astronomy instructor.
In 2010, EAAA sponsor Dr. Wayne Wooten won the Astronomical League Award for his four decades of helping organize astronomy clubs in Florida and Alabama.
Former EAAA President Merry Edenton-Wooten was the executive secretary of the Astronomical League from 1986–1992, and won its Wright Service Award from the AL in 1991.
Sponsor Wayne Wooten won the Astronomical League Award in 2010 for his work promoting amateur astronomy in the South East.
Because of the generosity of members in sharing their instruments and time many people have been able to enjoy astronomy opportunities offered to the general public, scouting groups and schools.
Over 70 of the kits have been built by the students, fitted with safe Baader solar filters from Draco Productions and given to local schools in west Florida and South Alabama.
