Moffat Astronomy Club is a friendly group of stargazers in southern Scotland, dedicated to sharing the wonders of the night sky. Set under some of the country’s darkest skies, the club brings together beginners and experienced astronomers through talks, workshops, and regular observing sessions.

Their pride and joy is the Moffat Community Observatory, a modern facility open to the public by prior booking. Visitors can look through powerful telescopes, enjoy guided tours of the sky, and experience astronomy in an accessible and inspiring way, helping Moffat shine as a true dark-sky destination.
