What will I see on Stargazing Evenings?
We do not cancel Stargazing Evenings in the event of poor weather; we offer a cloudy night contingency plan which is usually a planetarium style talk if the weather is unsuitable for viewing through the telescopes. PLUS we have a fabulous new camera which we can mount on the back of one of our historic telescope and take images. We have a bank of images which we can show you on a screen and explain about how the system works.
