Being part of an astronomical society allows like minded individuals to share experiences, tips and support for the hobby. Further to this, monthly meetings and educational talks are arranged and also allows members to group together in a singular location to observe safely as a group.
if you’re from the North east of UK, near or around Newcastle why not join the Newcastle astronomical society (link below) or if you’re further away, have a look for a society in your area.
