SATURDAY JULY 4 Early AM (4:30 AM – 5:00 AM):

Mars is directly below the Pleiades Star Cluster (7 Sisters), and when you have found Mars, you have also found Uranus, which is in close conjunction with Mars! Binoculars will show the Cluster and both Planets in a single field. This provides a rare opportunity to view the Planet Uranus, which will share a low-power eyepiece field with Mars in any amateur Telescope!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that our meeting is tomorrow. Please find the agenda attached, along with the Zoom link below for those joining us online.

This meeting will be a little different. We’re introducing some fresh ideas and new approaches to our presentations, so expect something a bit more dynamic and engaging. As they say, you’ve got to keep up with the times… but I’ll keep the details a surprise for now.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Alan
