1. It’s been a while…

   Sorry we haven’t posted much recently, but unfortunately we haven’t had the skies here in Glasgow to do much observing.

   It’s not like we haven’t been trying.  We have had several nights at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow (we had to cancel one due to heavy snow in December), and we have been at the Acre Road observatory and our darker skies site every month, but the weather has not been co-operating.

   ‘Wait’, I hear you say, ‘There have been clear nights this winter!’.  And while this is true, most of them have been around the time of a full moon, which introduces a lot of light pollution.  There is a wonderful example of this on one of our member’s own website (I think it is image 9) where you can clearly see the effect of the full moon on the long exposure shot.

   Anyway, here’s hoping that late winter and early spring will bring us much better weather and more news to bring you.
