The Herschel Astronomical Society

The Herschel Astronomical Society (HAS) is a group of amateurs that exists to provide a forum where those keen on astronomy can meet and share their mutual interests. Monthly meetings are held in the Slough/Eton area where a mix of internal and external speakers provide the formal part of the meetings. We have an Observatory, which is available for all members to use anytime. Observing meetings are held either at this site or at members Observatories, and various outings are organised to places of Astronomical interest.

We aim to cater for all who have an interest in astronomy, so please contact us regardless of your background or asperations. If you are looking for help in choosing or using a telescope there is bound to be someone who can help, and if you have many years of experience please come and help us promote and build interest in the hobby. Current members come from all over the Thames Valley, though primarily from Windsor, Slough, Maidenhead, Burnham and Bourne End.
