Enjoy an evening with Mexborough & Swinton Astronomical Society in Association with Friends of Clifton Park.
Presentations and displays will complement the observation of the evening sky. Our members will be there with various telescopes and binoculars and can guide you through the evening’s night sky. The Moon, planet Mars, Orion, its nebula and the Pleiades should all be visible.
If you would like advice on your telescope, bring it along, and we can show you how to use it best.
