Southampton Astronomical Society
Welcome to the Southampton Astronomical Society. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month. This is our main meeting where we have a guest speaker and visitors are always welcome. Meetings start at 7:30pm and finish around 9:50pm
On the 4th Thursday of every month (except December) we have a club evening at a members home where we try to observe with telescopes. In August and November we have a barbecue come rain or cloudy sky. Club Evenings are informal, it's an evening spent talking and it's not always astronomical!
