We're On!

The sky has cleared magnificently, and I'll be opening up the observatory from 7.00pm tonight. (closing at 8.30).

See you all there!

Not looking promising for tonight

I'm very sorry to say that the sky over York right now is distinctly gloomy. It is only 10:00 as I write, so I'll keep posting, but if the weather doesn't improve, I think we should reschedule.

The reserve date is going to be Fri 19th October, meeting at the observatory at 7.00pm. I'll make a final post at 17:45 this evening, to either confirm that we're going ahead tonight, or to reschedule for Friday.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope I'll see you all at some point this week!!
