Hi @chrislintott - just a quick note to let you know that when our planned speaker had to cancel at the last moment*, we shared yr Gresham Lecture "First light: Revealing the Early Universe" lecture with our members.
It went really really well. Thanks.
* a very valid reason!

We're meeting in person again - on 24th November in Norley WA6 8NE
First time back since Feb 2020. Contact us via the website if you'd like to join us.

@ScottWx_TWN @BadAstronomer @peachastro Scott, Damian, is there any objection from either of you if we include this in our Astro Club's next virtual meeting? It'll go well with images taken by some of our members.

Don't forget it's Club Night on Friday, with Nigel Ball giving a talk on "Nightscape Photography". All welcome at the Forest Explorer's Cabin at Delamere at 7:30pm. And it may be clear afterwards, so bring your scopes just in case.

Our March Meeting is this Friday. Member's talks and an Astro buy/sell/swap. Bring along any Astro related equipment or books that you don't need any more and pick up someone else's. That's how it works isn't it?

Seeing lots of ads popping up as we approach Xmas where you can ‘buy a star’ from the Star Registry! Its utter bollox I’m afraid. No-one can name stars other than @IAU_org The only person that recognises ‘your’ star name is you ! Pls don’t waste ur money
