Aberdeen Astronomical Society holds informal observing evenings on the fourth Tuesday of each month throughout the year. If you want to try out a few telescopes or learn how to get the most out of your model, these are the evenings for you. AAS members are also on hand to point out features of the night sky. The event reverts indoors if the skies are cloudy.
Members of the public are welcome… Please note that these sessions can also be accessed online; please contact the Society for more details.
