The Airdrie Astronomical Society is a friendly group of amateur astronomers and proud custodians of the Airdrie Observatory. As well as their regular group meetings, the Society opens the observatory to the public every week in November, December and January.
Regular meetings with Airdrie Astronomical Association
Tuesday every week from November 2022 to January 2023
Airdrie Observatory, Airdrie, ML6 0AG
Enjoy a warm welcome by astronomers from Airdrie Astronomical Association to this one of their regular November through to January Tuesday night public open evenings of the Airdrie Observatory.
These events are ideal for beginners and anyone interested in astronomy -- the friendly and experienced volunteers proudly carry on a long tradition of public engagement and teaching dating back to when the observatory opened in 1896.
The event includes an astronomical presentation and observing through the observatory telescope, an impressive 6" Victorian refractor, which affords lovely views of the planets and the moon.
Attending is free, and there is no need to book in advance (unless you are in a big group). An excellent idea for an early evening out with family and friends -- and you'll be supporting a fantastic facility (and people) too!
The observatory is also open for group visits - please contact them to reserve your night!
Friday every week from January 2023 to December 2023
New Wellwynd Church - Airdrie, Airdrie, ML6 0AG
Enjoy an evening with members of the Airdrie Astronomical Association, including an update on the latest space news, a tea break, and a guest speaker's main presentation. These sessions are a great way of meeting like-minded people; you don't need to be a member to go along, and new members are always welcome.
