AAS was formed in 1969 and has a current membership of about 35.
The society meets monthly (second Tuesday of the month) from September to May. During term times the meetings are held at the RGC (Robert Gordon’s College, School Hill, Aberdeen), where a talk/presentation is normally given by either a guest speaker or a society member. (Directions to RGC) AAS also meets once a month (fourth Tuesday of the month throughout the year) at Bettridge Centre, Newtonhill, where we hold informal observing evenings. If you want to try out a few telescopes or learn how to get the most out of your model, then these are the evenings for you. AAS members are also on hand to point out features of the night sky. If the skies are cloudy then we retreat inside the Centre for astronomical discussions! (Directions to Bettridge Centre)
AAS organises occasional visits to Scottish observatories (such as University of St. Andrews, pictured right) and planetaria. We meet up for special astronomical events, such as eclipses and meteor showers and are keen aurora watchers. We also organise observing at our dark sky site in Midmar.
