The North Shore Stargazers is a meetup geared towards those with a love of the night sky. No previous knowledge or experience in astronomy is required.

It provides spectacular views of the Moon's surface, cloud belts encircling Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, galaxies and star clusters. We observe from two sites: the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield and Hal …

Many of our members have taken courses taught by Tom Brown, Jr. and the Tra …
