Northern Lights and Starry Skies at Cresswell Village Hall with Si Rowland Astronomy and Photography
Friday 20th October 2023 from 19:00pm to 21:30pm
Cresswell Village Hall
Morpeth, Newcastle, Northumberland, NE61 5LD
We’ll be talking all things Aurora, what it is, where you can see it and how you can predict the best times to look for it. For photographers, I will also share tips on how to take pictures of it. The event is close to new moon so with clear skies we may even get to see the Green Lady herself and look at some of the other marvels of the night sky through my powerful telescopes! There’ll be the opportunity to hold a piece of a shooting star, hot chocolate and my famous quiz with out of this world prizes!
You can book tickets through Eventbrite or directly with me if you want to avoid the booking fees. Hope to see you there, clear skies!!
Please note that this has already taken place on 20/10/2023
