Observing evening with St Neots Astronomy Association

Paxton Pits Nature Reserve
High Street, Little Paxton, Cambridgeshire, PE19 6ET
Everyone is invited to join the St Neots Astronomy Association members for this one of their regular monthly observing sessions at Paxton Pits Nature Reserve.
A typical observing evening will last 1-2 hours and includes a tour of the sky using a laser pen, identifying constellations and planets that may be visible, and then observing using telescopes.
If the weather is poor, an indoor presentation takes the place of outdoor activities.
This event is run by volunteers and is free of charge; donations to the Society are welcome.
