Formal meetings with guest speakers – mostly professional astronomers and academics in related fields – on astronomy-related topics are held monthly on the fourth Wednesday (except in December and January). Visitors are welcome to attend meetings, which start at 19:30 and are held, due to to Corona restrictions, via Zoom. In future, they will be held again in the SAAO Auditorium, Observatory Road, Observatory, Cape Town. Activities also include dark sky outings, field trips to the Cape Centre’s own observatory at Leeuwenboschfontein, and public outreach. For more info on our day to day activities please visit our Facebook page.
