ISSP 2013 going well

The first half of the ISSP was lovely, and we were able to cover plenty of material on constellations and stars. The group worked really hard, and I am looking forward to seeing them all next week. If the sky is clear, I would like to invite any of this year's ISSP intake for an observing night on Friday 15th March, from 7pm until 8.30pm - don't forget to bring a grown-up with you - they are handy for lifts! Follow me on twitter for instant updates about the event.
