Amateur astronomy, also called backyard astronomy and stargazing, is a hobby whose participants enjoy watching the night sky (and the day sky too, for sunspots, eclipses, etc.), and the plethora of objects found in it, mainly with portable telescopes and binoculars. Even though scientific research is not their main goal, many amateur astronomers make a contribution to astronomy by monitoring variable stars, tracking asteroids and discovering transient objects, such as comets.
In Africa, the practice of amateur astronomy is not developed enough.
We can note the presence of astronomy clubs in some countries of North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria ....) and especially in South Africa where the practice of amateur astronomy is highly developed.
Besides these geographical areas, over most of Africa the practice of amateur astronomy is almost inexistant.
However, since the AMA2009 (International Year of Astronomy 2009), we see the emergence of astronomy clubs in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Mozambique, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Nigeria ...
The map below gives you an overview of amateur astronomy clubs by country.
