July 2026
Dear All,
As high summer settles over the UK, stargazers face the annual challenge of brief, fleeting nights dominated by persistent twilight. True astronomical darkness remains elusive across much of the country, requiring observers to wait until the midnight hours to catch the sky at its best.
However, the warm, mild July evenings make outdoor sessions a comfortable delight. While the atmosphere can occasionally suffer from summer haze, stable high-pressure systems frequently bring exceptional transparency and crystal-clear, steady seeing conditions. The night sky carries an unmistakable seasonal charm, characterized by a deep velvety blue glow and the majestic rise of the core Milky Way stretching across the southern horizon. It is a wonderful time to grab a lawn chair and enjoy some casual, relaxed scanning of our beautiful cosmic backyard.
Don't forget to send us any images you have taken or post them on the Facebook Group!
On Thursday 2nd July, we have a lecture by our Chairman Mike Lewis:
How Stars are Born - From Nebula to Supernova.
Look forward to seeing you all!
Warm Regards,
Walsall Astronomical Society
Walsall Astronomical Society Star Camp

Established in 1990, we are a friendly astronomical society that is open to anyone with an interest in Astronomy, space exploration and similar topics. People with all levels of experience are welcome, especially beginners.

We have weekly club meetings, where we have talks on what's up in the sky during the month, the latest scientific discoveries, and also every month, a guest speaker who would deliver a talk on a specialist topic. We've had speakers from the BBC Sky at Night programme, as well as renowned professors and scientists from well known organisations.

If you interested in joining us, or you just want to see what we do, then you can just turn up to our club and meet us.
Your first visit is free.
We are based at the
Rushall Olympic Football Club in Walsall.
