Join the members of the Lincoln Astronomical Society for this monthly meeting at their observatory and lecture facility. These meetings occur on the first Tuesday of each month except for January, which is moved to the second Tuesday to avoid the New Year. If the weather permits, an informal observing session may take place in the observatory. Non-members are asked to pay £5 on the door to attend, or £30 to join the society for the year.
Dr Mike Lancaster of Derby and District Astronomical Society will speak about “John Flamsteed- Pioneering Astronomy in Derby”.
