Wycombe Astronomy Society (WAS)


About Us

Wycombe Astronomical Society (WAS) is a friendly and active society bringing the wonders of astronomy to all who live in South Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns. We have over 50+ members of all ages and levels of astronomical knowledge from beginners through to advanced amateurs, and a lively observing community.
Our observatory is permanently located at Woodrow High House near Amersham in Buckinghamshire and regularly get together to observe during the observing season.
There is a busy calendar with monthly lectures and practical meetings (see the home page) - currently online via Zoom. Guest speakers provide us with informative lectures on the third Wednesday of each month and for the remaining 3 Wednesdays of the month, we have an online social meeting also over Zoom, and discuss astronomy (including practical tips and tricks), space and have a good chit chat about anything, or observing meetups at Observatory at Woodrow House
As well as this we have society trips and group get-togethers throughout the year including our annual picnic in August to coincide with the Perseid meteor shower.
