ABOUT US

In 1958 a group of Astronomy lovers, got together and formed the "South Shore Astronomical Society." Today, 50 years later, the passion of those founding few still perseveres. Our joy is Astronomy with the ultimate goals of fun and knowledge.

We meet on the first Wednesday of every month and schedule viewing sessions around the new moon, usually twice a month on Saturdays. Within our club, we have individuals who have delved into various areas within the scope of astronomy; astrophotography, solar viewing, meteor, asteroid, comet observations, deep sky, binary stars, etc. The only prerequisite for membership is an interest in astronomy.
We are a relatively small, informal club. The meetings begin at 7:30 p.m., usually with a  speaker, followed with old and new business and ending with open topics.  Come join us at one of our meetings and talk to some of the members. Astronomy is our reason for getting together, friends and family is the result of this get-together, passion and knowledge is the reason we return.

The public is always welcome at meetings and viewing sessions!
