Welcome to NACAA Inc

The NACAA convention has been held around Australia since 1967, and has become a regular national forum at which amateur astronomers can exchange experiences, stay abreast of the latest trends, foster co-operative activities between individuals, societies and the professional sphere, and network amongst their peers throughout Australia and beyond.

A national secretariat, NACAA Inc, was formed in December 2006 to continue the NACAA tradition, to expand its role by supporting other conferences and workshops, and to improve communication between amateur and professional astronomical bodies in Australia and beyond.

NACAA XXIII was held in Penrith, NSW, over Easter in March 2008. Full details of this event can be found here.

We're looking forward to an even bigger and better NACAA in Canberra over the 2010 Easter weekend (April 2-5). Click here for further information.

NACAA Inc encourages all interested persons and groups who would like to contribute to the content of the 2010 event to contact the chair of the Programme Committee, Margaret Streamer. At this stage, we are particularly interested in proposals for workshops, symposia, or other associated activities. A formal Call For Participation will be circulated soon.
