The friendly Worthing Astronomers will meet for an informal observing session at Bury Church of England School this evening. Bury School is ideally situated at the bottom of a valley on the South Downs, with minimal light pollution. So bring along your telescope, whether you do visual astronomy or astrophotography and enjoy the dark skies. No telescope? No problem! Just bring some binoculars or your eyeballs.
