Next Meeting : Monday 1st December

The next meeting will have 2 parts:-First Tony give a talk entitled "Easy Astrophotography (part 1)" describing his experiences with his ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope. He will also be happy to take any questions. Sounds interesting for those who would like to have a go at astrophotography but don't have an astronomical telescope.

The second part of the meeting will be an open session on the topic raised in October : AAS-The Future.All ideas and contributions are welcomed and encouraged. Let's see if we can keep the AAS running for another 15 years (not sure if I can keep running for another 15 mind!).

Come along and have your say, all welcome. Usual time and place : 7:30pm, Upstairs in The Hen & Chicks, Flannel Street, Abergavenny.

Next Meeting Monday 27th Oct'

Topic : What has Gaia done for us (that's the ESA Gaia mission, not the Greek goddess!).
This space telescope was switched off earlier this year after a 10 year plus mission. Although the observation phase has ended the data analysis continues.

Come along and share the evening with us, all are welcome. Usual time and place: 7:30pm, upstairs in the Hen & Chicks, Abergavenny
