AGM and Observing the Hawai'ian Skies
Darren Baskill
Lewes Town Hall
Our annual AGM will be followed by a wonderful talk by Dr Darren Baskill. The best places to observe the night sky also have some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. British astronomers have access to telescopes at an altitude of 4,200m on the summit of Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Darren's talk is his personal perspective on making astronomical observations in harsh conditions, using various observatories at the top of Mauna Kea. Everyone welcome. Non-members £3.
