Provided the sky is clear we will have an observing session on Saturday starting at 7:00pm to mark the end of GMT. Hopefully we will catch Mercury and Venus at the start of the session and a first quarter Moon should give some excellent views. As it gets darker we should have one of our last opportunities to see the Orion Nebula, and many of the stunning open clusters.
Follow the updates on Twitter for conditions on the night, the Observatory will only be open if clear or part clear.
