STARGAZING AT THE V&A
The Cape Centre of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa is unpacking a range of high-powered telescopes at the V&A Waterfront's Pierhead on Saturday 24 November 2018. And from 3pm to 9:30pm, you and yours are welcome to come and use them (weather permitting).


Proud history: The Cape Astronomical Society is the oldest in SA. It was formed in 1912
