Here is where being a member of the club comes in handy. You can join some of the members when they go observing at the club's designated places. You set up your instrument and start trying to find something in the sky. This will surely encourage you to keep on searching for more new objects. There are many levels of interest in astronomy.
Some people like to read about it in magazines.
Other people learn about it through the programs on their computer. And there is the level where the enthusiasts rough it in the field. Some of us just observe, others take pictures either piggyback or through our telescopes, or take images with a CCD system. The club meetings are meant for members to socialize, compare notes, and exchange ideas. Seldom is a club program aimed at teaching astronomy, but if you keep your ears open and ask questions, you can learn a lot.
