Astronomical society ANONYMUS is a non-profit group of citizens with a goal to popularize astronomy and science generally, to connect with similar organizations world-wide, to tutor and care about talented youth and to organize courses, excursions, meetings and astronomy-related public events. It is not what you can call an observatory or something like that, it's just a small group of people inte
rested in amateur astronomy, who wish and can expand their knowledge. We have had many meetings so far, many activities since this group was first gathered. A small group of people first met in 1994, as an unregistered society. Since then, club has been evolving, gathering new members (especially the youth). Finally in 2001, few of our godfathers decided to registry as a real society. From that point some things have changed. The club wasn't really provided by town finances, but we managed by organizing observations, lot's of activities, all that to increase the popularity of astronomy in Valpovo, and other near cities. Our latest activity was a public observation at the Normann-Prandau castle, 30th of August. Before that we organized "Osjeèko ljeto mladih" in Osijek, promenade near hotel Osijek. That was more of a presentation of our club to the citizens of Osijek. We had our own stand and we were selling Sky maps (Mars, Venus), and space magazines. At the end of 2001. members of an unregistered astronomy club decided to make a huge step and register our group as an astronomical society. At the meeting (on your right) were everyone who had anything to do with astronomy and our group. Of all the activities over the recent years, we would like to point out our expedition to Balaton (Hungary) to observe the total solar eclipse in 1999., as well as the one 7 years later in Turkey (March, 2006.) Anonymus encouraged the foundations of dozents of other sections and societies throughout the state with participating in our biggest project ever called "Given Sky" (original: "Nebo na poklon"). This project saw many young students gathered around main subjects of astronomy and observations.
