About

Astronomy.

Welcome to the Observatory of the Croydon Astronomical Society.
Since 1979 we have welcomed visitors to the Observatory every clear Saturday night to view the night sky. A moderately dark sky, when at its best we can see the Milky Way.
Today we open in daylight so visitors can see a little more of the buildings and site and hear about our history and what we now do here.
