Changes to our Monthly Observatory Nights for 2021
Some of the observant amongst you may have noticed a change to our CAS calendar, which has been updated for our winter 2021 programme.
This year to accommodate the growing number of new members we have added an additional observatory night to our programme.
Members nights are now tagged in the calendar as Training or General:
Members Nights (Training) – specifically aimed at induction training and members training. We will have accredited members onsite to support training aimed at adult and kids. Session starts earlier to allow the younger members some telescope time before bed! All members are welcome to attend and bring along gear. The intention of this session is to encourage all members to become familiar with observatory scopes and encourage usage of the observatory with a focus on training our new junior members. These sessions start earlier than normal to accommodate this.
Members Nights (General) – ‘Free for All’ – no specific training planned – All members welcome to bring along gear or use CAS gear if accredited or accredited members are in attendance.
Members nights are a great time to get out and enjoy a night under the stars at the observatory and do a little socialising. Many members bring out their dinner and enjoy that on the terraces before dark. Come out stay a while or stay all night, the observatory is warm and you can dip in and out all night as you like.
Reminder: Our members nights at the observatory go ahead regardless of the weather!
Enquiries regarding members nights can be posted on the CAS Members forum:
