Welcome
to the Astronomy Society of Bloemfontein City
|
ASSA
Bloemfontein Centre is a group of active enthusiasts meeting
on a regular basis to discuss their interest in astronomy.
Whether a member's interest lies with armchair astronomy, deep
sky observations, astrophotography, solar or lunar studies,
telescope making or astronomical history, they all share
the need to expand their knowledge in the subject and enjoy
astronomy as a humble and fulfilling hobby.
This non-profit club is
centered around the City of Bloemfontein, in South Africa.
Please contact us for more information: membership is open to anyone, regardless of how much you know about astronomy! Further
reading on who we are. |
