Learn about astronomy, the effects of light pollution and astrophotography, marvel at the scale of the Solar System, try your hand at using telescopes and learn to identify constellations. There will also be a telescope clinic, offering the chance for 1-on-1 guidance and tips on how to get the best out of your equipment. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced astronomer, there's something for everyone!
