Welcome
OASI is a society for anyone interested in astronomy. We are based at Orwell Park Observatory and Newbourne Village Hall and the majority of members live in the counties of Suffolk and Essex. Members enjoy a wide range of interests in the subject and include those with a casual interest, through occasional observers, to dedicated amateurs with specialist skills in visual and photographic observing, constructing telescopes, public education in astronomy and the history of astronomy.
The panels below provide information on our activities, and how to proceed if you are interested in joining OASI. Email for more information: info@oasi.org.uk.
