For those who like astronomy photography......

Abernethy Star Party - Oct 31st

It's just a little village that I live in but the Central Scotland Observers group have decided to host a photography / stargazing night here. There's use of members equipment or bring along your own.

Thought I'd post it as there's a few YoP folk that live nearby.

How is the light polution up that way Phil, do you get nice dark skies?

Re: For those who like astronomy photography......

It's a small village so there's little in the way of light. Powrie park is on the very edge of the village surrounded by trees and there's no lighting at all so it should be very dark.
