[CelestialHaz]

[Tiddles]

Whole lot set for Sky+, I'll be somewhere on Dartmoor with my scope.

[rory]

so... whats this "stargazing live" then ?

[Caldwell 14]

I'm gonna miss Monday nights show, but then I will be out with the club with my scope! Sadly though it be a short session as I have to work around 10ish for a couple of hours.

I could be wrong, but I think it is being shown on BBC HD at the same time as BBC 2.

A small, but pertinent, point on a forum where people will spend £300 quid extra on an EP, to get a slightly better view, than that available through a £40 example.

you're not, got it set to record on HD :-)

[cabby]

So glad I saw this, I was told the 2nd part was only on the Red Button.

Just checked and It's now all being recorded in HD!!

[Reggie]

I wonder if they'll put it live in HD on IPlayer?

[ZEbbEDY]

you can watch it on tvcatchup.com streaming live, also click here to watch it on your smart phone if outside in t'garden

[Kluson]

wish I'd bought my Celestron 6 SE, bey I'll struggle to get one now!

[kharga]

I will be on the prog on Tuesday evening, as 1 of the guests invited from Macc Astro! We will be outside with scopes etc, for the first part then inside discussing things with Brian Cox for the extra prog!!!

[ZEbbEDY]

ooooh!

[MikeWilson]

That's awesome kharga - how did it go?

[tibbs1972]

Its a shame some of the fundamentals were not explained, such as polar alignment, using filters etc.

I sort of agree with you, and in fact I wish they'd go more into this on the after show, rather than having a more contemporary "Wonders of the Sky at Night.

But the standard show is pretty cool. Just the ticket for explaining what stargazing and amateur astronomy is all about.

All the best,

Mike
