We are a large and friendly society interested in absolutely all aspects of astronomy. It really doesn't matter how much you know or how big your telescope is but if you have a latent interest in Astronomy please explore these pages, then pay us a visit. We'd be delighted to meet you. If you're new to this hobby come and talk to our members who are just starting out and share in a common interest. We have lots of equipment you can use to further your interests. If you're an experienced Astronomer then come and help us further our cause and get involved with guiding our many sections or come and give us a talk to spread your knowledge around.

WYAS has been successful in its application to BT for a free laptop and free wireless broadband for a year.
WYAS were one of 40 groups in the Yorkshire Region to receive the award. There were apparently thousands of applicants across the UK but the WYAS plan to use the internet to help in public lectures and to connect to telescopes Worldwide won the day. The Toshiba Satellite laptop computer arrives on the 27th August and the BT landline will hopefully be installed by the following week. This will change the way that we operate and bring us into the 21st Century.
