This community of amateur stargazers in Somerset welcomes newcomers whether absolute novices, armchair astronomers or die-hard observers and astrophotographers. No one is too young or too old to enjoy space and the night sky. The aim is to share the enjoyment of stargazing and practical astronomy, to help members develop their knowledge/skills/experience in the fascinating field and to bring the experience to a wider audience through outreach, public events and collaboration with bodies like the Bath Preservation Trust, Bath Abbey, English Heritage, Herschel Society, and National Trust.
There is an annual membership fee which is used to cover the costs of monthly meetings/speakers expenses and outreach activities. The fee depends on your circumstances:
