Southland Astronomical Society

The Southland Astronomical Society is the southern most astronomy society in the world.
It is based in Invercargill, New Zealand's southernmost city.

We welcome any enquiries about membership to the society. As a member you are welcome to attend our monthly meetings held at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of every month except for January.
Meetings are held at the Hearing Association rooms, 126 Leet St, Invercargill.
We discuss the 'goings on' in our night sky, local and worldwide. We often have slideshows and presentations about a very wide range of astronomy topics.
Our members are very friendly and you will always recieve a warm welcome.

We are incorporating the observatory (Located at the Southland Museum & Art Gallery) into the page also so we can give you any new details, updates and share photos, information etc.
While the observatory is closed during daylight savings period we are updating information within the observatory. We strive to cater for everyone from small chiildren to adults.
We will share changes made in the observatory as we complete them and advise of when it will be re-opening and times etc
The purpose of this page is for us to update you about sky events and be able to interact with all of you keen sky observors more often and efficently.
Please don't hesitate to contact us via our message system or email for membership enquiries or any other questions you might have. We look forward to bringing you information and having lively discussions.


Note: Our goal is to keep the page family friendly, but if you do happen to see something of concern please report it to one of our page administrators.
Please be patient with us as we get this page up and running.
Thank you from the Southland Astronomical Society.
