Usk astronomical society is an organisation dedicated to encouraging and educating its members and the general public in the beauty that is our galactic home.
Come find us in our new location The Grange
which is conveniently located next door to our old meeting place.
The Next Meeting is on Thursday 10 Oct Oct at 7:30pm
Meeting as usual is in the Grange, Maryport Street Andrew Lohfink will discuss on how we can still observe despite a variety of sky conditions. This talk follows on from the discussion last week on Bannau Brycheiniog Dark Sky Reserve. It is a fact of life that particularly in a place like Wales, conditions for observing can be very less than ideal. Andrew will explain how to make the best of what nature presents us with.
