Northants Amateur Astronomers was founded in 1983 as a local amateur astronomy society and focuses on bringing people together to learn about and enjoy astronomy in a friendly, welcoming environment. The group holds fortnightly meetings, typically on the first and third Tuesday of each month, featuring member presentations, guest speakers, informal discussions, and observing sessions when weather permits. Talks are aimed at a non-technical audience and suitable for all levels of experience. Additional activities include a regular newsletter and organised visits to sites of astronomical interest.
