NEWS:
Forecast is looking good for Thursday 27th and Friday 28th Feb, so lets keep our weather eye open for Met Office updates.
Our first taster session at the observatory was a lovely experience, introducing new people to the fantastically clear sky above Allenheads, observing Venus, Jupiter, Mars, the Pleiades, Orion, scintillating Sirius and the Milky Way. Followed by hot chocolate and interesting conversation in the warm room.
If you would like to attend either of these nights please message me with your preferred date, and be prepared for a short notice reply from me to say that the conditions are good, or not. Might be an idea to include your phone number so that I can be sure to make contact. If you would like to come along contact Alan Smith via FB message or email alanshead@acart.org.uk
North Pennines Observatory https://www.acart.org.uk/observatory-allenheads invite our ‘Astro Curious’ neighbours to come along and check out our observatory at the Old Schoolhouse, Allenheads.
This is an open invite to introduce you to our facilities and discuss how you might get involved in the future in all things ‘dark skies’. Introductions will be run as a series of informal, social evenings for small groups of 10 max, with refreshments.
The idea is to create a local interest group for those living close enough to respond at relatively short notice, to come to the observatory to enjoy our beautiful dark skies.
Please pass this on to any of your friends or family who don't use social media. Suitable for adults and families.
