Welcome to Doncaster Astronomical Society.

Providing astronomy for the casual observer, serious enthusiast and a means of accessing the night sky using research-grade equipment. Schools throughout Doncaster and the surrounding catchment area are especially welcome to use our facilities and experience, as a suppliment to the GCSE Astronomy syllabus.

View the night sky in mixed and pleasant company in a secure environment.
Go to the Observatory item above for directions to the Domes 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 usually open on clear Friday nights for members, but welcome the public too.

Being a Society member, brings many other benefits including the possibility of observing on other nights, weather permitting! And being able to borrow telescopes.


Light refreshments are available.

We make a charge of £2.50 to help balance costs.
There is free parking beside the Minster.
