Hello and welcome to the Northants Amateur Astronomers website, through this site you can find out who we are as a group to forthcoming events and meeting.

NAA always representing itself at local shows

 
The N.A.A which is a registered charity is now in it’s 26th year. The society was founded in 1983 by Nick Freville President of the N.A.A.
Our meetings are aimed at a level that can be enjoyed by all regardless of what experience you may have in astronomy. Throughout the year we have visiting guest speakers that bring us up to date with all the latest happenings in astronomy and space,(see our meetings page) whilst some of our more experienced members will provide talks about there own observations of the night sky and also give advice in what to look out for in the comming months. In addition to our meetings we hold starwatches each month,(weather permitting) apart from the month of June this is due to British Summertime when it never really gets dark enough. The starwatches are held at the Newton Feild Center near Geddington, where a variety of telescopes are set up and members will be more then willing to give any advice and to show you some of sights the night sky has to offer.

Interested, why not come along to one of our meetings or starwatches and discover your universe.
