Welcome to WSAAG
Welcome to WSAAG
The Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) is a group of enthusiastic and dedicated amateur astronomers based in the western suburbs of Sydney, NSW, Australia. The club was founded in a meeting of 25 enthusiastic astronomers at UWS, Nepean (Kingswood) on Tuesday, 19th of November 1991.
WSAAG provides a focus for people to meet and learn about astronomy. The club also provides many opportunities for night-sky viewing. Our members come from all walks of life and have a diverse range of interests; some have telescopes and some don't. You don’t need to know the sky and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist.
We can answer many of your questions about astronomy, help you set up and use equipment and assist you in locating constellations, planets, clusters, nebulae and galaxies. We can also advise you on the purchase of binoculars or your first telescope. For those interested in photography, several members have expertise in astro-imaging and associated software.
A list of our objectives and how we go about achieving them can be found here.
