Upcoming Astronomy Events

As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope‘s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.

Steve Tonkin FRAS - Two eyes are better than one!

November 26, 2021 @ 7:45 pm - 9:30 pm EST

Virtual presentation by Zoom
Join from 19:45 onwards.
Binoculars are an ideal way of observing the night sky. Many beginners start off with binoculars and even if they eventually buy a telescope, they will still use binoculars. Indeed, depending on the object being observed, binocular views can surpass the view from telescopes. Using two eyes is very often better than just using one!

In this talk Steve will guide us through the different types of binoculars and the pitfalls to avoid when buying a pair.

Non-members can participate for a nominal donation of £3. Please contact [email protected] at least 36 hours before the event.
