Welcome

The Lackawanna Astronomical Society is an astronomy club located in Northeastern PA. We are dedicated to educating the public about astronomy and enjoying the wonders of the night sky.


About Us

The Lackawanna Astronomical Society holds many free astronomy events throughout the region. We work closely with local State Parks and other organizations to generate interest in amateur astronomy in Northeastern PA. We also offer many public events from Keystone College’s Thomas G. Cupillari Observatory located in Fleetville, PA.

Many club members act as volunteers and assistants at the Open House evenings, Star Parties, and Astronomy Day.
