Co-op Local Community Fund North Essex Astronomical Society is part of the Co-op Local Community Fund. Our project is based around accessibility and we want to buy equipment to enable more people to take part in star gazing. If we can buy a camera to attach to a telescope and a computer to connect it to, people who find it difficult to look through telescopes will be able to participate and enjoy the night sky.
