The Westport Astronomical Society, Home of the Westport Observatory

WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Parties from 8-10 (after sunset during the summer) if it's clear! Since 1975, the Westport Astronomical Society has brought the wonders of the night sky to the thousands who have visited the observatory. We’re an all volunteer-run, non-profit organization that’s free and open to the public every Wednesday night from 8-10 pm if the skies are clear. The Dome Observatory covers a brand new Celestron EdgeHD purchased in 2019 on top of an Astrophysics 1200 German Equatorial mount with an Explore Scientific 102mm f/7 Essential Apochromatic ED Triplet Refractor piggybacked on top. The lawn regularly hosts the HUGE 25″ Obsession telescope, one of the largest in Connecticut. You can also occasionally find us doing sidewalk astronomy in the community with various 8-10″ telescopes and solar viewing with the Lunt LS100Tha double stacked solar telescope.
