Any Observatory in Doha? Or spacewatching group?

We have always been fascinated by planets, space and the overwhelming universe out there. Just the sheer size and vastness of the universe humbles you and makes you feel so small and insignificant. In the larger scheme of things, this rat race, the mechanic grind, the hate and anger, the frustrations all meltaway. We have always enjoyed our lil spot of astronomy. We dont go around trying to prove or disprove anything but we feel theres lots to learn and lots to see.
I terribly miss my regular visits to the local observatory, the young and intelligent group which would know if today was saturns equinox or if jupiter had a new instability in its atmosphere.
Is there any group interested in astronomy in Doha?
Is there any observatory? Any skygazers group?

Don't hold me to this 100% but if I recall correctly the Science Club has a section/chapter whatever you may call it dedicated to astronomy so you may contact them. I doubt there is an observatory but I'm sure there are individuals with equipment that practice this hobby.
