Observation nights
Night-sky sessions from the campus lawn and the Sukna foothills — planets, clusters, eclipses and meteor showers.
Astroneer · Where astronomy meet engineers
We keep the night sky in the college syllabus.
Astroneer is a student-run society for observing, imaging and arguing about the universe — under some of the clearest skies in North Bengal.

About us
A campus observatory culture, built by students
We began in 2026 with a shared love of the night sky and a rooftop. Today the club runs a monthly observation calendar and a growing archive of member astrophotography captured from the Sukna campus and nearby dark sites in the Himalayan foothills.
Membership is open to every SIT student regardless of department or year. No prior background is expected — we teach sky navigation, observation techniques and imaging fundamentals from scratch, and pair newcomers with senior observers for their first few sessions.
Clear skies, always shared.
What we do
Four orbits
Astrophotography
Deep-sky stacking, star trails and lunar imaging workshops, from a DSLR on a tripod to tracked long exposures.
Astrophysics circle
Reading sessions and student talks on cosmology, relativity, exoplanets and mission science, plus ISRO launch watch-parties.
Outreach
Sky-viewing camps for schools around Siliguri, National Science Day exhibits and open sessions for the whole campus.
Next star party is always close
