About the club

A local skywatching circle built on steady observation

Moonbeam Astronomy Club began with a small group of neighborhood stargazers meeting after dusk to compare notes, identify constellations, and learn the night sky one clear evening at a time.

The club is fully volunteer-run, with members sharing time, tools, and guidance so newcomers always have a calm place to start.
