Due to bad weather it was decided to postpone most of our July program to August… so here it is again.

The Archer & the Scorpion
In this presentation Ian Cooper explores some of the spectacular star clusters and nebulae in the constellations of Scorpius and Sagittarius.
Winter Stars
This is an audio-visual that explores the planets, stars and nebulae in our winter night sky.

TELESCOPE VIEWING
Telescopes.
Following our presentations (and tea) we take, weather permitting, a laser tour of the night sky followed by telescope viewing. Prime telescopic targets will be the planets Jupiter and Saturn and, the brilliant star clusters and nebulae in our winter night sky.
