We are pleased to announce our practical meeting for Thursday 14th May 2026

Our plan to is get outside and observe the sun and when it gets darker we will then carry out night time observations.

We are prepared for some clouding over Basingstoke tomorrow and whilst we will get out as much as possible we will also be running a talk if the weather turns fully cloudy.

We hope to see you there.
