A friendly local society which welcomes new members with – or without – astronomical experience

affiliated to the Federation of Astronomical Societies

NEXT MEETINGS

Friday 13th or 20th of June A visit is being arranged to visit the Great Transit Circle at Greenwich Observatory.

Wednesday 18th June 2008 Because this is one of the shortest nights of the year, in recent years this has become a members' evening when we can bring telescopes, binoculars and other aids to amateur astronomy to chat about their use and discuss problems. There will also be a short video on an astronomical subject.

Wednesday 16th July, James Fradgley from Wimbourne will be giving a talk entitled "Orbital Oddities - Strange Goings-on with 3 or more Bodies" before you get too excited he will be talking about Lagrange points, resonances, Roche limits and lots of odds and ends with simulations!

 Wednesday 17th September,  John Punnett from Bromley will be giving a talk entitled ‘An Enthusiastic Amateur’s Journey in Astrophotography’.

To mark our tenth birthday [??]

Some of our members are well-connected!
