‘Members Christmas Evening’
Festive cheer! – including: a 15 minute planetarium show, (kindly set up and provided by our member, Annette Hunsley). The show was based on ‘We are Aliens’ by the National Space Centre.
Astrophotography displays by some of our members, plus a display of methods used and results achieved to take photographs of the path of the sun over a six month period using Solarcan pin hole cameras.
Discussions around a ‘beginners pack’ of information to help in finding your way around the night sky and understanding the phases of the moon and how and when this can be observed. Plus – the ‘magic’ mirror, which produces truly amazing hovering 3D images of the night sky.
