We will be able to explore the Moon, just past its first quarter and, if we are lucky, we might see Uranus & Neptune. We will also use Orion to star hop so we can find the Pleiades. While the stargazing is weather dependent we will be able to run activities inside the Great Glass House if the weather is poor. Food and drink will be available in the Med Café.
