Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society

We are now known as Crayford Manor Astronomical Society Dartford or CMHASD for short. The addition of Dartford to our name is to reflect the change in our address as we are now based in Sutton-at-Hone, Dartford and NOT at the Manor House in Crayford. Our new home boasts the darkest skies in the area and is only a 15-minute drive from the centre of Crayford. This has been our venue since 24 May 2012.

We meet every Thursday of the year at 7:45 pm - except Christmas week.

In term time we have lectures from visiting professors & professional scientists. There are also 'Society Nights' where society members show their latest activities. We also meet for local observing sessions at some weekends too - weather permitting.
