The GAPC (Astronomical Group "Polse di Cougnes") is a group of enthusiasts in astronomy that operates
within the "Polse di Cougnes" Foundation.
The members met in a fairly casual in 2003 during a meeting at the headquarters of the foundation,
which allowed a short time to form a cohesive core and operational, so that in six months managed through
the donation a 30cm telescope by the widow of Dr. Venturini to implement the plans of the group had proposed
the observation of the sky and public education.
The purpose of the group are planned, given the current equipment, contacts with academic and scientific entities, such as the various university faculties from Friuli and collaboration in research projects coordinated by our friend Dr. Ferdinado Patat (currently engaged in ESO headquarters in Germany).

In the month of March 2008 finally arrived the new instrument, a telescope of 70cm Ritchie Crethien, sponsored by European funds and private. "Venturini" 30cm telescope did not remain still unused but has been refurbished (second time) and positioned as a secondary instrument in parallel with the new one.
