Local Society newsletters / journals

[Dawson]

I am interested to see what local societies put in their monthly newsletter / journal. If your society produces one, I’d be grateful if you could email me a copy of a recentish edition: observatory@nottinghamastro.org.uk

The Nottingham Astronomical Society’s Jounal can always be found here: https://nottinghamastro.org.uk/our-journal/

I’ve attached a PDF version of if.

Many thanks.

Thanks Bill.

The latest missive from the Cambridge Astronomical Association arrived this morning. In the current edition of Capella, their newsletter, is a fascinating article about how the sky brightness varies with altitude. The naked eye limiting magnitude was a whole magnitude fainter at 120m above street level! The observations were made from a 35th-level apartment and from the street immediately below in a Bortle 7 and Bortle 8 sky respectively.

Thanks Paul, unfortunately one needs a password to access the publication.
