Welcome to the NASTRO website.

Northumberland Astronomical Society was founded in January 2000 and has approximately 40 members. We are a friendly and very active society and we meet in a beautiful location at Hauxley Nature Reserve near Amble on the coast of Northumberland.

Our members have a range of experience and we welcome beginners and professional astronomers alike.

As well as having a lot of fun with astronomy, we have:

• Dark skies

• Big telescopes

• A great observing location

• Outstanding guest speakers

• Visitor facilities

If you live in the area and have an interest in astronomy and space exploration, why not come along to one of our monthly meetings. Everyone is always welcome.

To find out more about us and to see details of meetings and forthcoming astronomical events then please follow the links on the left.

We look forward to showing you around the night sky.
