Solar System Day out at Norman Lockyer Observatory

[skip]

HI to you all

Steve many thanks for your assistance on Friday, Rose and i had a day at the NLO, where they held an Introduction to Astronomy, a number of sessions talking about the Solar System, star charts, buying a telescope different types of scopes, nebula and galaxies, it was a full packed day and only cost £20, being a member of the NLO Rose and i paid approx half price. we also had a session in the planetarium, which also shed light on latitude and declination .( which has so far been a mystery) how to identify different constellations . we were shattered at the end of the day but really enjoyed the course. many thanks to all the people at NLO. Plus anyone out there living in the Exeter area well worth a visit.

Hi Skip,

Good to hear you and Rose had a good time

Anyone living in the area would do well to pay the NLO a visit - great people and some fascinating telescopes.
