This course will concentrate on the real sky as seen with binoculars and telescopes. Outdoor sessions will be balanced with classroom work and audiovisual media to help appreciate the wonders of Astronomy. The tutor is a lifelong amateur astronomer and an experienced public demonstrator.
Learn why stars 'live and die', how to recognise start constellations and clusters and what is really in the night sky, including comets, meteors, galaxies and eclipses.
