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 Star Party
November 1st – Carnewas
The second of this seasons Sun & Stars. The event, as always, is dependant on clear skies, but this evening we hope to be able to see sunspot activity on the surface of the Sun before it sets. At the same time we can observe the Moon and Saturn as they rise in the East.
The event is open to anyone who wishes to come along and we kick off at 16:00
