Astronomers – but not at all amateurish

Our seminar room also serves as the official club venue of the BAA – the Burgenland Amateur Astronomers.
Every first Friday of the month there is a club evening from 7 pm in the "Sternenstuberl" – the cosy "star bar" – which you are very welcome to attend.

There is much for you to find out here about this interesting hobby, useful tips and plenty of topics for discussion on current happenings in space.

The regular "star-gazers’ evenings" are particularly popular – newcomers are also invited to discover or develop their passion for the night sky.

Besides an extensive specialist library and computer software, astronomy aids are also available. Of course there is a club magazine, Alrukaba, which is published several times per year, with observation reports, star-finder charts, dates and news. This magazine is available at the club evenings and by subscription.

Our boss himself is also crazy about astronomy and frequently goes off in the evening to observe the stars.

The group is of course always delighted to welcome new members. Information about membership is available from the BAA home page, www.astronomie.at/burgenland, or by e-mailing baa@astronomie.at.
