All set for tonight

The weather is not going to be terrific tonight, but it won't actually be raining apparently. I will therefore open up the observatory from 8pm - please park in the school grounds and come straight to the observatory. We'll be closing at about 9.15pm. If we can't see anything, I will I will give a short presentation on the night sky, just so you know what you are missing!
