Practcial Stargazing at Wellow with Bath Astronomers
Friday 21st April 2023 from 21:00pm to 23:00pm
Wellow Public Car Park
Station Road, Wellow, Avon, BA2 8QB, South West
This members’ (and prospective members’) evening is intended to share the night sky in a convenient location. Members of Bath Astronomers run it.
It is weather dependent, so you’ll need to check that the Social Media/website has been positively updated on the day to confirm it is running.
Bring your binoculars and telescope if you have them. This is shared observing rather than guided observing, so you won’t be given a guided tour unless someone kindly volunteers their time.
Please note that this has already taken place on 21/04/2023
