Every Thursday in February we will be observing (weather permitting).
Members who are trained can use the 16″ Peter Hindle telescope. Untrained members can use the other society telescopes or bring your own.
If you are unsure on how to use your own telescope then these nights are perfect for getting one to one guidance from our more experienced members.
Open to Full & Basic members plus potential new members by invitation. Enquiries about membership, or attending for the first time, should be directed to the Secretary of the Society.

This image shows, Aldebaran also known as "the eye of Taurus" to the far left of the 12% lit waxing crescent Moon with the Hyades to the lower left, and M45 also known as The Pleiades/ Seven Sisters in the lower right of the image, Fortunately I had a reasonably clear sky with some cloud, as well as a vantage point that enabled me to see the Pleiades as they are currently quite low in the WNW part of the sky, I was also able to capture some earthshine.
