Welcome to Variable Stars South!
Variable Stars South is a community of astronomers, mainly amateur, interested in researching the rich and under-explored myriads of southern variable stars. We undertake a variety of research projects and publish what we learn in our quarterly Newsletters and other peer-reviewed journals.
If you’re interested in doing serious astronomy and would like to involve yourself in rewarding scientific research, consider joining us - its free!
Slides for the Sixth VSS Symposium are available, and recordings are being progressively uploaded. Click here for more details.
