About

A group of amateur astronomers of Islamabad region gathered in November 2007 to work for the promotion of astronomy- related activities in an organized way. In its first meeting it was decided to name the group as Pakistan Astronomy Society (PAS) and later modified to PAS-Islamabad (PAS-ISB) to work as Islamabad chapter of PAS. It was hoped that other local, existing and future groups, may choose to become affiliates of Pakistan Astronomy Society.

PakAsronomers Islamabad is a society for amateur astronomers from Islamabad, Rawalpindi and nearby regions. We engage in various activities related to astronomy including observations sessions and public outreach events. We collaborate with educational institutes within and near the Islamabad/Rawalpindi region. In the past, we have worked with Institute of Space Technology (IST), National University of Science and Technology (NUST) and many other educational institutes.
