--Bringing Stars to the Eyes of Tulsa since 1937--


About Us

We are an all volunteer, non-profit and tax exempt 501c3 organization, actively serving the astronomy community in the Tulsa and surrounding area communities for almost 90 years. More about our club:  We own and operate our own observatory SW of Tulsa near Mounds, OK where the skies are much darker than in town. Beginning in September we will have our monthly club meetings at the Tulsa Air & Space Museum and Planetarium, the public and non-member are always welcome. A downloadable/printable club brochure may be found HERE:

We also publish monthly newsletters, here is our current  
September 2026 Newsletter  
Our previously published newsletters are archived under the ABOUT/NEWSLETTER menu at the top of the page.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find more astronomy related posts shared from other sources, plus any special announcements.

See our events section for the latest meeting schedule and agenda.


Our Club Events
The Astronomy Club of Tulsa and its members would like to invite you to the darker skies at our observatory or one of our other scheduled public outreach events. You don't need a telescope or binoculars, just let us know you are coming and look through our telescopes. We also schedule public events in our local communities such as Hunter Park in Tulsa, Case Community Center in Sand Springs, and the Keystone Ancient Forest near Keystone Lake. More details are available on our EVENTS PAGE.
