Astronomy is becoming more and more popular in Pakistan, specially in Lahore and Karachi. In Karachi city, Karachi Amateur Society is doing a really good job to popularize it among the students, general public and of course among there members. They have a beautiful observatory with very fine instruments!

Amateur Astronomers also formed an Astronomy society in Peshawar recently and i have skyped with them once, thanks to the great efforts of Khalid Marwat.

In my own city, Lahore, we have a very active group and so many enthusiastic members who run Lahore Astronomical Society. We regularly hold a monthly meeting at Zeds Astronomical Observatory, where one of our members delivers a keynote presentation, which follows by a very active Q/A session. Workshops are also conducted here so amateurs at all levels can benefit with others' skills.

My observatory also host public star and Sun gazing sessions. We have many telescopes of all kinds and sizes to see what's up there.

Dr Salman Hameed and i were planning to start a podcast in Urdu for Astronomy outreach in Pakistan. This dream has finally been realized now! Anyone who has an internet connection can listen and enjoy. Here is our first episode of 'Hamari Kainaat'!
