About Us

The Northern Sky Astronomical Society is an amateur astronomy club based in Grand Forks, ND. We are a UND associated club but membership is open to the public. Anyone with an interest in astronomy is welcome. We enjoy observing the sky and educating others about astronomy. As a member, you can get a discount on Sky and Telescope and Astronomy magazines and be invited to club star parties.

We usually meet every 2nd Monday of the month at 7:00PM. Check the schedule for changes. Remember, equipment and extensive knowledge of astronomy is not required.
