Give a year of astronomy

An ASE Gift Membership gives someone a full year as a member of the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh.

They can join our meetings and activities, take part in observing and imaging projects, talke part in gathering data from our remote observatory ASERO in Spain, and become part of Edinburgh’s astronomy community.

Their year of membership doesn’t start until they redeem their gift, so you can buy it in advance without using up any of their membership. You can also buy ASE branded merchandise from our ASE Online Shop.

Who is the gift for?


We won’t contact the recipient. Their email simply helps us identify their gift when they redeem it.
