Nottingham Astronomical Society

The Nottingham Astronomical Society was established in 1946.

History

Plans for a 'society' in the Nottingham area for people interested in astronomy had been devised just before the start of World War II.

The society owns a 24" reflecting telescope housed in a dome observatory near Cotgrave,Nottinghamshire.

Since 1980 the society has been twinned with the Karlruhe Astronomical Society (Astronomischen Vereinigung Karlsruhe, AOD) based in Germany.
