The Astronomical Society of South Australia
We
are all actively involved with the
Astronomical Society of South
Australia, or ASSA.
I am currently the Honorary Secretary for 2007.
We don't tell fortunes ! We use telescopes and binoculars
to look at stars, and other astronomical objects.
We watched the recent
Transit of Mercury across the Sun on May 7th 2003, pictured below.
We
travel to the Observatory at Stockport as often as health and money
permit
and try to observe from home as often as practical with our own
telescopes.
All three of us saw the
total solar eclipse from Roxby Downs in December 2002.
Skip & I have observed over a dozen aurorae.
The
photo below shows an aurora australis, or southern lights,
seen from the Stockport Star Party in
November 2001.

ASSA,
