The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) has a long history, dating from the founding of the Toronto Astronomical Club in 1868. The RASC received its Royal Charter in 1903. Soon afterwards, the Society began founding "centres" in cities across Canada. Since it was founded, the RASC has filled a major role in Canadian astronomy. Information about the national society can be obtained at www.rasc.ca.

We are a group of over 4000 amateurs and professionals in 29 centres in every province across Canada who enjoy observing the night sky. We get together for regular meetings, public and private observing sessions, telescope building and all kinds of other related interests.

We are the local Astronomy Society of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. We hold monthly meetings, every 2nd Friday of each month, at Stirling Hall (home of the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy) Theatre A, on Bader Lane (formerly Queen's Crescent) Queen's University, Kingston Ontario from 7:30-10:0 pm. We do public outreach programs in the form of helping the Cubs and Guides, teachers and at public events. We help out our members with questions in astronomy and equipment use, and hold private observing sessions, and also with Queen's University on the second Saturday of each month, at Ellis Hall, Queen's University. We are here to answer your questions on astronomy.
