Gary will take you on a whistle-stop tour of the Universe. Following this\, we will split into groups and\, weather depending\, start observing the sky\, with our array of telescopes and cameras. \nWith no Moon in the sky\, we will look out for the Milky Way\, and many deep sky objects like Galaxies nebulae\, and star clusters\, then use our robotic telescope to scour the skies for other jewels of the cosmos\, for us to ponder. \nThen it’s back into the classroom for a hot drink\, more astronomy photography questions\, and boundless knowledge and inspiration. \nWe’ve planned quite a night! \nTerms and conditions of booking \n\nSafety is our first priority – you must adhere to all instructions of the team leading the astronomy session and You must not do anything to compromise the health and safety of yourself or others and must report any concerns or risks to the onsite team immediately.
