The Sunderland Astronomical Society is keen to recruit more stargazers.
It's based at the Washington Wetland Centre's observatory.
The telescope there can see objects up to 55 million light years away.
On a clear night, the rings of Saturn can be seen in close detail.
The Sunderland Astronomical Society meets at the observatory in Washington and at other North East locations.
In the spring and autumn it also runs the Kielder Forest Star Camp where people camp out under the darkest sky in England to get the best views of the night sky.
For more information contact chairman Graham Darke on 0191 4162625.
