We are one of the liveliest and busiest UK Astronomical Societies

 

 

Sunderland Astronomical Society was formed in July 1993 by an enthusiastic group of local amateur astronomers.

 

We try to cater for all levels of interest and experience and are especially pleased to welcome newcomers into the fascinating study of the heavens.

We hold meetings on the second and third Sundays of each month commencing at 7.00pm at the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust in Washington.
Meetings are free of charge so you can come along and see if the Society is for you before you join up.
Meetings on the second Sunday of the month are “Workshop Meetings” when more experienced astronomers help the newcomers in getting acquainted with new telescopes and equipment and help with finding things in the night sky. Meetings on the third Sunday of the month are “Lecture Meetings” and feature a talk lasting around 30 to 45 minutes by either a visiting professional astronomer or an experienced amateur astronomer.
