The winter sky sparkles with star clusters and stunning constellations, not to mention satellites and shooting stars scuttling overhead. We’ll have telescopes and binoculars at the ready and take you on a tour of the heavens, where mighty Orion dominates the southern sky. But we’ll start with a colourful beginners’ talk iindoors to set the scene and answer some of those questions you’ve always wanted to ask. Want tips on using that new scope someone bought you for Christmas? We’ll try to help. Event goes ahead in all weather.
