Club Observing Session/Meeting

The club held this years first meeting with an observing session looking at Jupiter from the grounds of Mary I college.
It was very well attended with over 20+ club members there, using the clubs telescopes we all had a good look at Jupiter
and the 4 Galilean moon along with the great red spot !

Many thanks also to Roy and Shea for bringing their 8" Celestron SCT and 4"Borg refractor, we also had a look at several
deep sky objects such as the Orion nebula.
