Ashford Astronomical Society is a fun and welcoming group
aiming to make astronomy accessible and enjoyable for all.
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought 'Wow!', but wished
you knew a bit more about it? Have you ever bought or been given a
telescope and found it too difficult to set up and use?
Astronomy is a fascinating and rewarding hobby, but it's all to easy to
be put off by obscure technical jargon, the enormous price of some of
the equipment on sale and the sheer difficulty of knowing where to
start.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no requirement to be an 'expert' or
a 'top notch' scientist, or even to buy huge quantities of expensive
stuff to get going. All you need to start with is an interest in looking
up at the night sky and a wish to know more about it.
What else do you need? A welcoming and friendly Astronomy Society to
guide you along of course!
Ashford Astronomical Society meets on the last Friday of every month
(except bank holidays), at 7.30pm at the Woodchurch Memorial Hall, Front
Road, Woodchurch, TN26 3QB.
