Upcoming Club Meetups

We gather regularly for calm, practical skywatching sessions where members compare observations, learn together, and plan the next clear-night target.

Please note: meetup timing or observing plans can shift based on local weather and sky conditions, so check the latest update before heading out.

Meetup comfort checklist

New to Moonbeam nights? You’ll fit right in.

A quick guide for first-time visitors so you can arrive prepared, stay comfortable, and focus on enjoying the sky.

A warm welcome for newcomers

Come with curiosity, not expertise. Club members are happy to help with telescope setup, explain what we’re observing, and share simple tips for spotting details in the night sky. Quiet questions are always welcome.

If this is your first visit, arrive a few minutes early and introduce yourself to a volunteer host—we’ll help you settle in comfortably.

Ready for the next clear sky window? Check timing and location details before you head out.
