Hi Ray,

I assume that's Alora in Málaga Province?

'Fraid I can't be much help myself, I'm in Catalunya.

But here's a set of links for (most of) the Asociaciones Astronómicas in Spain, listed by province.

You may find someone to help you through one of your local Málaga ones.

HTH

I've PMed you some other stuff as well.

Thanks very much for taking the time to forward me the link David.

It seems that I get more help from a stranger than I do from some of my friends.

What an amazing forum, and I mustn't forget to thank FLO the sponsor of this site.

Regards, Ray
