Solar Observing at Tyntesfield

Solar Viewing at the National Trust Tyntesfield Estate 2010

The first of this year's events will be held on Sunday May 23rd 

Please check this page for a list of scheduled dates (Sundays) during 2010 The first date in each month is the preferred one, since some moon observing will also be possible; the second date is just in case weather conditions prevent viewing on the first date.

The decision to run each event will be taken on the previous Friday, on the basis of the weather forecast, and will be posted on the BAS web site and emailed to members of the viewing team.  Volunteers are needed to operate telescopes, record visitors’ names, and generally talk to the public.  Please contact Allan McCarthy via the BAS Yahoo Group if you would like to help.
