View the planets
Hi, I'm a astronomer helping out at the Cawthron observatory which is at Clifton terrace school. We had a fantastic night last Friday with over 100 people viewing the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Several deep sky objects were also viewed. The new 14inch scope gives very impressive views. We also had a couple of 8inch scopes which are also nice to use. This coming Friday will be good as Mars is at it's closest for 15years hence much bigger in the scopes than usual although to be honest nothing beats Saturn through the big scope. 7-9pm. Your better off coming at 8pm or so as there will be less people. The astronomical society charges $5 per person or $15 family which covers maintenance, power insurance etc.
