Not looking that great at the moment (07:55) but they are giving sunshine and showers for the North East this afternoon, so things might pick up. Please check this site, or twitter before you decide to come in - if the sky is cloudy, we can always try again next week.
However, if everything looks good, please come into the school and meet at the science block, where we ran the ISSP session on saturday. Parking at the school will be tight tonight, as we have a big concert on in the school hall, so please park up on the area near the school pitch.
Timetable
19:00 - session starts - short introduction.
19:20 - looking for PanSTARRS - I haven't seen it yet either, so fingers crossed...
19:40 - the Moon and Jupiter - everyone will get a go at drawing what they see, so be prepared!
20:00 - the late winter sky - a starhopping tour for those new to stargazing.
20:30 - end of session.
