Telescope Amnesty, Jan 2009


Our second Telescope Amnesty event, where visitors met members of Astronomy Societies who gave advice on how to use their Telescopes/binoculars and how to get involved in astronomy as an amateur.

The evening was rounded off by a special planetarium show by Pete Lawrence & Ninian Boyle of the BBC Sky at Night team.

Thanks to our co-hosts HantsAstro, and also to Cody Astronomy Society, Hampshire Astronomical Group and Reading Astronomical Society. This event was part of International Year of Astronomy 2009. The film was made by Martin Sabin-Smith (www.workingimage.co.uk), unfortunately YouTube has messed up the quality during conversion but we hope you enjoy it.
