The Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA) is a body consisting of both amateur and professional astronomers. Membership is open to all interested persons, regardless of knowledge or experience.

Shortly after the 1910 apparition of Halley’s Comet, the Cape Astronomical Association was established (1912), with S S Hough, HM Astronomer at the Cape, as President. In 1918, the Johannesburg Astronomical Association was created, with R T A Innes, Union Astronomer, as President. In 1922 the two Associations merged to form the “Astronomical Society of South Africa”.
