Aberdeen Astronomical Society - Tuesday 25th Sept Bettridge Centre

I'm just completing the booking with the BC so that AAS will have an observing session at the back of the Bettridge Centre on Tuesday 25th Sept (booking the Lounge 9-10pm). This will mean that a number of AAS members will be in Newtonhill, so if you are interested in finding out what we do and are interested in taking up astronomy as a hobby (...or life consuming passion!) then this is an excellent opportunity to come along and speak to us.

You don't even need a telescope!

Good session last night

Hello

The AAS had a good session last night - with some new faces coming along to see what we get up to.

We setup a number of telescopes and our enormous pair of astronomical binoculars in the car park and let everyone have a good close look at the moon, a few clusters of stars (I always think they look like jewel boxes) and our nearest galactic neighbour - Andromeda.

Little astronomers...

Good link Noo Noo, which reminds me...

AAS is not a Society for kids, so although an interested adult/guardian is welcome to bring an <18yrs old person with them - they are solely responsible for that young person.
