The Nottingham Astronomical Society was established in 1946.
History
There is some evidence for a society for people interested in astronomy in the Nottingham area in the nineteen-twenties.
The society owns a 24" reflecting telescope housed in a dome observatory near Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire.
Since 1980 the society has been twinned with the Karlruhe Astronomical Society (Astronomischen Vereinigung Karlsruhe, AOD) based in Germany.
