Saturday 6th April 2024 from 19:30pm to 22:30pm
Tegg's Nose Country Park
Buxton Old Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 0AP
If you’ve ever looked up at the starry night sky and been enthralled by what you’ve seen then join Macclesfield Astronomical Society for an evening of astronomy.
There will be talks suitable for all levels of interest, including photos of the sky and astronomical objects, with opportunity to ask questions and (if the weather is clear) to observe the sky with MaccAstro’s guidance and to see celestial objects through their telescopes.
You are welcome to bring your own binoculars or telescopes if you wish. Be prepared for dark outdoor conditions and night temperatures.
Please note that this has already taken place on 06/04/2024
