The first meeting of 2026 will be on January 9th. Graham Young, DAS – The Life and Times of Thomas Henderson
Thomas Henderson was born in Dundee, and went on to become Scotland’s first Astronomer Royal, with a number of interesting scientific achievements along the way.
The Dundee Astronomical Society was formed in 1956 and is affiliated to the British Astronomical Association BAA (to whom we send observations). In addition the Society has a number of honorary members throughout the country.
We would normally hold member meetings once or twice a month at the Mills Observatory, Balgay Hill, Dundee in the months October through to March. The first part of the meeting consists of a talk lasting about an hour from a guest or member, followed by a short tea break, then a shorter session for members to make their contributions.
The Society has a healthy membership and welcomes new members. Please contact our Secretary for further information via the Links page.
All Friday meetings begin at 7:30pm at the Mills Observatory unless otherwise stated, members should arrive by 7:15 to ensure the talk starts on time. Thanks
