| Information about the Club |
Do you live in South-East Essex? Have you ever wanted to see the Rings of Saturn with your own eyes? You will get a chance to observe many objects at our regular observing nights. We are a very active club with regular Club Meetings. We have a range of Club telescopes available for loan to members.
We occasionally hold Open Nights to introduce astronomy to members of the public. We also meet regularly at a dark site in the Dengie Peninsula for serious observing away from the polluting lights of Southend-on-Sea.
Originally formed in 1969 as the Rayleigh Astronomical Society, the Castle Point Astronomy Club is a small and friendly society of people near Rayleigh in Essex with a common interest in astronomy and the sky at night.
Our members are of all levels of knowledge and expertise - from absolute beginners to experienced amateur astronomers, and from armchair astronomers to those out under the stars with a telescope on every clear night!
