    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:

    SGL (My take on it)

    By Jamie,

    I sometimes find it hard to comprehend the sheer scale and size of SGL these days.
    From its humble beginnings when a couple of guys were sharing some time on a yahoo group to what we have today - an active community.
    What this place means to so many people is something that for me i find difficult to put into words.
    When SGL is off line for any reason i feel left out somehow.
    When SGL's imagers share their great work i feel humbled at the aesthetically pleasing images they produce, knowing that there is a scientific usage and background behind each one to back it up.
    The observing reports are fantastic, the equipment discussion and advice that is freely handed out is second to none.
    And then there is the SP to look forward to.
    Its hard to think of a way in which this place could get any better.
    The surprising thing is that SGL does get better all the time.
    Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

    Food for thought....

    By Jamie,

    To those that actually bother reading/taking on board/taking time out to use the grey matter before shooting off at the mouth/keyboard.
    Welcome to the new look SGL.
    As for the others (the troops will soon set you straight) :director:
