Welcome to Variable Stars South!

Variable Stars South is a community of astronomers, mainly amateur, interested in researching the rich and under-explored myriad 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.
