Vectis Astronomical Society |
The Vectis Astronomical Society was founded in 1976 by a small
group of enthusiasts wishing to promote amateur astronomy for all
ages, both men and women, throughout the Isle of Wight. Every
level of astronomical interest is catered for from beginners to
those with more advanced knowledge who want to specialise. Annual
membership is £17 with reduced rates for juniors, and other
categories. The Society meets on the fourth Friday of each month
in Newport, at 7.30 pm.
There is a monthly magazine, an extensive astronomical library,
Skywatch/Observing Sessions, Specialist Groups and Technical
Advice. Visitors are welcome. For more information telephone
(01983) 865451.
The Society has recently built its own Observatory on the Isle of Wight. |
