Hello everyone,

Rob and I are going to Chelsfield for an impromptu astronomy evening on Saturday, 5th August .

The actual site is in the middle of the green with good easterly, southerly and westerly views with not much of light pollution at coordinates:

Yes thanks for advertising it.  I am more an imager than an observer and not sure how many people access the forum apart from the imagers.

Hope you have a good one and perhaps we'll see you at Cairds again at some point.

Getting non-imagers to use the forum as well would be a good thing...

There's also a mailing list to help with arranging for this sort of event, but it's only for OAS members. The details are in a "Behind the Scenes" sticky-post with the title "Flash-mob adhoc astronomy".
