Loxham Observatory
Duncan Road, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, MK43 0TH, East of England
The Cranfield Astronomical Society meet weekly every Tuesday during term time on the Cranfield University Campus.
Observing from their Loxham Observatory is the main priority for these sessions; if the weather is inclement, the group gathers in the nearby Cranfield Student Association lounge.
Meetings are attended mainly by Cranfield University students and staff; however, persons not related to the University are very welcome as associate members. Please get in touch with the Society if you would like to go along.
