We will be having a New Years Night Out,

all members and their families are warmly invited

This will be the Societies second visit to Hall Place, our previous visit was in November of last year, and again  provided the skies are clear we aim, amongst other things to show you views of the night sky, including an 8 day old Moon, so please wrap up warm.

Please note this event is Weather dependant

As NASA celebrates 50 years of Apollo this should be an interesting talk

 Could this talk be about Harvard Collage Observatory ?, if so it may well be about:- Annie Jump Cannon ( 1863-1941),  who photographed millions of stars with a prism equipped telescope, and  Celia Payne-Gapocschkin (1900-1979)  who studied under a man who resented her presence Ernest Rutherford, no doubt Barry will reveal all.

Mr David Pulley, will present “Eclipse timing variations, and the search for circumbinary planets”

Dr David White, will present “Visual interference observations of sub-arcsecond double stars”

Dr David Arditti, will present the Sky Notes

This event is not organised by the Society
