A nice trip to the observatory

It is always great fun introducing young people to practical Astronomy. Bootham boarders George and James learned how to use registax 5 and sharpcap 2 tonight to take these shots of the Moon.



Tomorrow, if the sky is clear they can come back and see how the changing solar angle alters the appearance of these craters.
