It provides a special day devoted to our hobby, in which we can …

  • Promote astronomy in general and telescope making in particular to the public

  • Meet people who share our passion for these pursuits and promote friendship within this select community

  • Show off our handiwork and exchange ideas, knowledge and experience

  • Recruit new ASSA members
