Reeth Informal
Astronomy Group
covering the Northern Yorkshire Dales
Reeth Informal Astronomy Group are a small and friendly group which started following a local Skill-share meeting in April 2013.
Our members are mostly based in the Northern Yorkshire Dales, in particular Arkengarthdale, Swaledale & Wensleydale, but also Shetland, and we welcome people from further afield if they wish to join us.
The group covers every level from absolute beginners with no equipment whatsoever to those with a modest amount of experience of using small to medium sized telescopes. Our common aim is to learn together, and everyone is welcome.
We have a regular meeting usually on the second Thursday of the month to discuss current astronomy news, exchange ideas and expertise and to observe the night sky when it’s clear.
Members also hold impromptu observing and astrophotography sessions at other times when the opportunity arises.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 12th Feb 2026. at 8:00 pm.
This meeting will be by Zoom only.
There will be an observing evening on Friday 20th February in the garden and meeting room of the Evangelical Congregational Church on Reeth Green.
