Welcome to Doncaster Astronomical Society

Providing astronomy for the casual observer, serious enthusiast and a means of accessing the night sky using the best facilities in Yorkshire. Local schools are especially welcome to use our facilities and experience.

We are available for group visit to the Observatory and can also take astronomy to your groups with telescopes and illustrated talks.

View the night sky in mixed and pleasant company in a secure environment.
Go to the Observatory item above for directions to the observatory in Austerfield.

But before you set out, take a look at the Monthly Night Sky to see what's about, and the Local Weather too. We're open on clear Friday nights for members, welcome the public too, but have to make a charge of £2/person, accompanied children are free.

Being a Society member, brings many other benefits, including observing on other clear nights, and being able to borrow telescopes. At our meetings at St. George’s House, we make a charge of £2.50 for members and £3.50 for visitors to help balance costs.

Light refreshments are available.
There is free parking beside the Minster.
