Just a quick reminder that this course is now live 😎

I signed up for the house "Night Sky: Orion". Course is available for another 42 days.

I'm convinced that one's enjoyment of something is increased by what you know about it. Last time I learned Astronomy it was a 2 hour couse in a (cold/damp) village hall (here in Hampshire).

FWIW there are other Astronomy courses e.g. the course on "Moons" which also looks interesting and in-depth (8 x 3 hours). Or Higgs Bosun and the universe. Search "Astronomy" in the search box on top RHS to get a list).

Wall to wall cloud here since the course went live on Monday. Orion's being shy. 😁

Miraculously I managed a quick shot on Monday - we'll see whether I can manage it again!

People seem to be enjoying the course though - I suppose its something good to do on a cloudy night
