About Us

We are a friendly, relaxed group of people sharing a common interest in all things astronomical. Our membership ranges from complete beginners to those experienced in observing and the more technical aspects such as astrophotography.

We meet at Summercourt New Memorial Hall, Cornwall on the third Thursdays of the month throughout the year. From October to March we also hold practical meetings on the first Thursday of each month at Trevarrian Holiday Park. All meetings start at 7:30pm.

Further information on the club, how to find us, what we do and Contact Us details can be found under the ‘Home’ menu dropdown at the very top of this page.

Our Next Meeting

7th, November- Trevarrian

Practical club night. The emphasis of each meeting is to get out under the stars with our scopes ( so please bring yours along with you) and do some observing. If the weather doesn’t play ball, we will be arranging some observing or imaging techniques to enhance your practical skills.

Our Next Star Party: 9th November

The Third of our ‘Sun and Stars’ star party event held at the National Trust car park at Carnewas. As always this event is subject to there being clear skies. Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoT1DmPnF3o3fDTQ8
