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 11th Dec. at 8:00 pm.
This meeting will be by Zoom only.
Please note that the Dec, Jan and Feb meetings will be Zoom only. We will re-commence face to face meetings in March 2026.
In the meantime we wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a good New Year with plenty of clear skies.
