These pages are intended to serve as a guide for both beginners and advanced amateur astronomers living in the north of England - particularly Northumberland where I live ;-)

I've tried to make a website that is up to date and easy to maintain.  To do this I'm using elements of a blog, which can be seen here; if something interesting is happening the night sky I'll post a message there as soon as I know about it.  Here are the most recent headlines:

If you want to learn more about the stars and planets or would like to meet others who share your interests you really should contact your local astronomical society. If you live in Northumberland have a look at the website of the Northumberland Astronomical Society. Otherwise, visit the website of the Federation of Astronomical Societies to find your local society in the UK.

Have you seen the cosmic river yet?

Clear skies,
