The primary credential for an astronomer is a degree in physics, mathematics or computer science. More and more, a strong background in computers is a requirement even for Math and Physics majors.

Another good choice is Electrical Engineering.

Technically speaking, none of these is actually required... if you're wealthy enough to buy your own equipment, you can be an astronomer without any degrees at all... but realistically, in order to get a job in the field you'd want at least a bachelor's degree in one of the above disciplines, or a closely related one (say, geology or chemistry).
