Bath Astronomers

The Bath Astronomers are a group of local Somerset amateur astronomers sharing a passion for observing the night and daytime sky. Our desire to share manifests itself in organising observing evenings:

• for the group;
• for a wider group that have expressed an interest in astronomy and observing;
• for schools/youth groups such as beavers, brownies, scouts, guides;
• for the general public.

The group meets up every month in Bath for talks, workshops or to informally chat and plan over a cup of tea and biscuits. The coordination team looks after the activities of the group and events for the public and other organisations. 

Outreach

Bath Astronomers do outreach. We take binoculars and telescopes to the public, schools, and young peoples’ groups so everyone can see the wonders of the night sky.

We’ve worked with Bath Preservation Trust, Bath Abbey, the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, Bath Royal Literature and Scientific Institution, University of the Third Age, Girlguiding, Scouts, and dozens of primary and secondary schools.
