Hi Everyone, I was wondering if there was any Astronomy clubs or Star Parties that have a good amount of members and attendees. I’ve never been to one as I haven’t really found any/know where to look. I’m in the greater Crossville area (In between Nashville and Knoxville but am willing to drive pretty much anywhere in TN. Any help would be appreciated!

Levi

Good group of folks at this club. Meetings are in person and zoom.

Fall Creek Falls SP occasionally hosts star parties in conjunction with clubs. Very dark skies and good facilities nearby in the park, quite close to you. I wish there were more visual observers around, the local club is 90% EA.

Another group, perhaps more local (web page loads a little funny for me, but just hit reload if it fails, worked for me)

 

Cumberland Astronomical Society out of Gallatin, TN.
