Great enthusiasm from the public last night, approx 75 people turned out.
Hope the weather holds for tonights showings, though it's not looking good at present.

Some of the visitors at last nights sub-urban guerilla astronomy session.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
