Renfrewshire Astronomical Society are looking at the possibility of relocating our weekly meeting venue to incorprate a "darker" sky than the light polluted one we have at the Paisley observatory.

One of the possibilities we are consudering is a place called Lapwig Lodge on the Gleniffer Braes overlooking Paisley.

The members are going to attend a meeting there this Friday night 27.02.09. Kind of like try before you buy. ;)

Lapwig Lodge is normally used as a base camp for the scouts.

We have offered to help out with scouts that wish to attain their astronomy badge with identifying visible constilations and the use of constilations to navigate the night sky.... Wish us luck... :headbang:
