Observing with Melton and District Astronomical Society
Friday 20th January 2023 from 19:30pm to 21:30pm
Gaddesby Village Hall
Ashby Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, LE7 4WF
Join members of Melton and District Astronomical Society for one of their regular meetings. These meetings often include a talk or presentation; however, being predominantly an observing Society, the priority is always to get outside and look up!
For this meeting, the group welcomes Andrew Atterbury, the title of his talk is ‘Comets, Asteroids, and Impacts’.
Members bring an assortment of telescopes which visitors are welcome to use; this is an excellent opportunity for beginners to find out how to start their interest in astronomy.
