Join & contact · Canberra
Join when you're ready.
There's no pressure to sign up on day one. Visit a meeting, ask a few questions and see whether the community feels right for you. When you're ready, CAS keeps the current forms and details on its official site.
A low-pressure start
Come along before you decide.
CAS welcomes visitors at regular meetings, so you can hear a talk and meet people before choosing membership. You don't need your own telescope or any previous astronomy experience.
