Chesterfield Barnett Observatory - All Welcome!
Friday 27th July 2018 from 20:00pm to 23:00pm
Chesterfield Barnett Observatory
Hastings Close, Chesterfield, S41 8RH, East Midlands
Everyone is welcome to join the friendly and enthusiastic members of Chesterfield Astronomical Society at this one of their weekly Friday night observatory open evenings! There is no need to book for this casual stargazing session — just pop in if the weather looks good. A small donation of £2 is asked for to help maintain the observatory. Please bear in mind that these Friday night events are also member nights so although visitors will be very welcome some astronomers will also be focussing on their hobby!
Please note that this event has already taken place on 27/07/2018
