Hello,
Many of you, I suspect, are already aware of this – but I thought I’d flag it nonetheless.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich has been kitted out with some modern equipment – at the very least there’s a C14 and piggy-backed refractors on a Paramount going on the photo – and the operators of the scopes are keen for public involvement.
I am sure the BAA would want to make its presence known, if it has not already done so.
It is a pity the gas giants will be at a southerly declination for some time yet, as I bet the public will be most keen to get a look at them through big scopes. But of course they will offer fantastic views of the moon, double stars and star clusters, for example.
