Open University Astronomy Club

Last updated 5 October 2025

Special General Meeting on 2 September 2025

It was unanimously decided to cease monthly meetings as the membership was now too low to justify inviting speakers

the club will continue as the "Observatory Support Group"

In addition to the observatory itself we will host outreach groups in the Robert Hooke Building

A map showing the location of the Robert Hooke building on the OU campus can be found from the link Where we meet above, however we no longer meet there but use it for Observatory visits.

The astronomy club no longer exists for monthly meetings, however keen members have formed the Observatory Observers Group in order to continue to use the telescope and allow outside interested parties to observe. For more information and how to book, click on Observatory vistits above.
