Welcome to Altrincham and District Astronomical Society

We are a friendly society of around 30 people who meet regularly to talk about and enjoy the night sky. We have several telescopes and other pieces of equipment which can be borrowed by society members for their own use.
Throughout the year we meet on the first Friday of each month (except July and August) at 8pm until 10pm at the Scout hut in Timperley. At these monthly meetings we discuss the society's business and have some event such as a lecture, video, slide show etc.


Finding ADAS

The 1st Timperley Scout Hut (OS ref: SJ 788891) is located on Park Road about 100 metres to the North of the traffic lights in the centre of the village. There is a car park in front of the Scout Hut.
