Tonight’s provisionally-planned “Observing Night” will not be going ahead. The weather forecast is dreadful. Please check back for details of future observing nights.

The ISS is back in the evening sky. Use this table to check the dates and times – and remember, as far as brightness is concerned, “magnitudes” with a minus symbol are brighter than those without one. Anything -2 or brighter is *very* bright!

I’m starting to get people asking me for advice about how to watch the solar eclipse on March 20th, so I’ve put together a blog for absolute beginners, with all the info needed to observe and enjoy the eclipse – timings, what equipment to use, etc.
