WelcomeClub d'Astronomie Capelain

The astronomical observatory is open to the general public on the 4th Saturday of each month.
For evenings when it is impossible to observe our starry sky, we offer educational workshops.
For members, the observatory is available all year round.
On the evening of the observations, you can come with your own astronomy instrument, in order to provide assistance in its use, if needed.
Different instruments will be at your disposal during the observation evenings.
We also participate in various national events (nights of the stars) and organize the Lacapelle-Biron Astronomical Festival with our partners LACHAL ASTRONOMY and RM2i.
Solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, occultations of different astronomical objects interest us, we will share them with you.
