Astronomical Society of New South Wales

The Astronomical Society of New South Wales (ASNSW) is an amateur astronomy club in the state of New South Wales, Australia, founded in 1954.

The society's objectives, as stated in their constitution, are to "bring together people interested in astronomy and related sciences, and to promote public interest and education in astronomy. The ASNSW provides members and the general public access to Astronomical observing facilities, educational lectures, and assistance in selecting, using and even building telescopes and related instruments".

The ASNSW has many sections dedicated to providing support to members interested in specific aspects of astronomy, including astrophotography, computing, solar observing, the Solar System, double and variable star observing, deep sky observing and telescope making. The society also runs two dedicated observing sites; one at Mount Bowen near Sydney, and the other near Ilford.
