The Canberra Astronomical Society was established in 1969 to serve the needs of amateur astronomers within the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions. The Society, host to a wide variety of skills and interests, caters for the beginner and advanced astronomer alike. You do not need a telescope to join. CAS is committed to promoting co-operation between amateur and professional astronomers and has active public outreach and education programs. General meetings are held at the Lecture Theatre, Duffield Building, Mt Stromlo.
Members also give presentations on current items of interest or their own astronomical pursuits.
Meetings close with coffee and an opportunity to chat. New members and visitors are always welcome.
