I thought this might interest some people - particularly given our current weather challenges!!

Interesting - a large clamshell style dome.  Rather unusual.

Cheers Helen, not done an Open Learn since the very detailed Meteorology a year or so ago.

I'll give this a look at.

Best,Rich

This looks brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I have registered 😊

Well, I've enrolled on the course. It's been too long since I did any active learning, hopefully this will be a good limbering up.

Working my way through it and taking it seriously, even though ATM I pretty well know everything in Week 1, as, I think, pretty much everyone on here will. Went through the Week 1 quiz with full marks (Would have been ashamed if I hadn't), now onto Week 2, Visual Observing and Telescopes.

Ah yes, the dreaded "Forgotten Password" syndrome.

Thanks for sharing! Just found other courses that are astronomy related, if anyone is interested.

Yes, I found those as well. I'll be signing up for them when I'm about halfway through this one. some look very interesting, but I think I may have to work my way up to them, in terms of maths.
