Want to learn about the night sky? If it's clear you'll see the wonders of the night sky through our telescopes.

Join us if you want to learn about the stars of our beautiful night sky.

On a clear night we will show you stars, galaxies, planets, meteors, satellites and more with your own eyes and through the Astronomical Society of Glasgow's telescopes. If it's cloudy you will hear all about these wonders from our team of seasoned and friendly astronomers (OK, possibly eccentric too!) who will be on hand with tips on how to get the most out of your own eyes, binoculars and telescopes. No experience is necessary. Beginners are most welcome as are people who wish to bring their own telescopes and find out how to use them. And remember to wrap up warm!

Children aged 8 and over are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.

This event run in colloboration with Mugdock Country Park.
