Where can I find a astronomy club for amateurs?
So lately I've been studying astronomy and wanted to find a astronomy club. the thing is I've never used a telescope and most of my knowledge is very basic,(I watched the crash course Phil Plait did on youtube.) Could I still join a club or should I wait?

Jeffrey K say: Many observatories and big cities have Star Parties. They invite the public to look thru large telescopes. They usually organize amateur astronomy clubs.
Also, check any local college that has an astronomy or physics department. They have student astronomy clubs. Most will welcome anyone who likes astronomy.
