AstronOMy Club

Join us for our monthly astronomy Club at OM, open to all abilities and interests.

This is a sociable evening session with our resident astronomer discussing what is currently visible in the night sky.

October AstronOMy Club

It’s all about the aurora for October’s AstronOMy Club as we answer all your Northern Lights questions! What is it, where can you see it and how can you take a photo of it? Moving into winter means longer nights and better chances to see the aurora borealis. Come along to our AstronOMy Club for advice on how to take advantage of this amazing natural phenomenon when it occurs.

Feel free to bring your own camera and we can talk you through the methods used to capture the Northern Lights. If skies are clear we’ll have an opportunity to practice this live, or if the weather is cloudy, we’ll provide our advice indoors!

This event is open to all ages and abilities and designed to be a relaxed, sociable evening for all levels of interest. Please dress warm and bring a torch, preferably with red light.

November AstronOMy Club

November’s AstronOMy Club will be centred around our winter constellations. If skies are clear, we will be able to take a peek at the beautiful ringed planet Saturn. In the event of poor weather, we’ll stay indoors and discuss the winter constellations and how to use them as markers in the night sky. We’ll also look at the history of Saturn and how it has been observed through thousands of years by different civilisations.

This event is open to all ages and abilities and designed to be a relaxed, sociable evening for all levels of interest. Please dress warm and bring a torch, preferably with red light.
