Don't forget folks that it is an Observing/Social Evening tomorrow night (Tuesday 21st April).

Meet up at the Change of Horses from 8:15pm onwards and (weather permitting) we will move onto the field later on or stay in the pub for a drink and a chat.

The weather forecast is looking VERY favourable at the moment so bring along at least a pair of binoculars and some warm clothing as it is likely we will go up the field. There is also a pass of the ISS at 20:41 at mag -0.9 to look forward to.

See you then.

Final reminder for TONIGHT'S Observing Session.

The weather forecast looks PERFECT.

See you there,

A very good evening`s observing... really magic. Well done Ivor.  Let`s hope that future Obseving evenings are as clear, or even better.
