Friday 23rd August

This week will be a follow on from a recent talk on John Dobson, presented by our very own dynamic duo Ken Beard and Barry Cleland. John Dobson is most notable for being the promoter of a design for a large, portable, low-cost Newtonian telescope that bears his name, and for his avid promotion of “Sidewalk Astronomy”, the bringing of astronomy “to the people”. MBO have a number of these telescopes, and after the talk and supper (weather permitting), we will use them to observe the heavens.
