Hi chrislintott - just a quick note to let you know that when our planned speaker had to cancel at the last moment*, we shared yr Gresham Lecture "First light: Revealing the Early Universe" lecture with our members. It went really really well. Thanks. * a very valid reason!

Don't forget to look at the Moon at about 11pm on Sunday 5th. The moon occults θ1 Tau, but only if you're in the Northern half of UK

Credit to the excellent book Night Scenes 2017 by Paul Money for the tip-off and for the graphic.

Seeing lots of ads popping up as we approach Xmas where you can ‘buy a star’ from the Star Registry! Its utter bollox I’m afraid. No-one can name stars other than International Astronomical Union (IAU) The only person that recognises ‘your’ star name is you ! Pls don’t waste ur money
