Meetups

Join the next skywatching meetup.

Whether this is your first time looking through a telescope or your fiftieth, you are welcome to join us for a calm, guided evening under the night sky.

A typical meetup includes a short sky orientation, shared observation through club and personal telescopes, constellation spotting, and time for open questions with volunteers.

Meetups FAQ

Quick answers to common attendance questions before your first skywatching evening.

Do I need astronomy experience to join?

No experience is required. We explain what we are observing and welcome beginners who simply want to learn by looking up with the group.

Should I bring my own telescope or binoculars?

Bring equipment if you have it, but it is not expected. Club members usually share views through several setups during the session.

What happens if weather or cloud cover is poor?

We post updates ahead of time if conditions change. When skies are mixed, we often adjust plans and use the clearest windows available.

How often does the club meet?

Most months include one primary evening meetup, with occasional extra sessions for notable sky events announced on the Meetups page.

What is expected from participants during a meetup?

A respectful, patient attitude is the main expectation. Ask questions, observe at your own pace, and help keep lighting and noise low for everyone.

If you are curious, come along as you are—our group learns best by observing the sky together.
