BBC Sky at Night July edition

Post by Montana »

It was great to watch the BBC Sky at Night programme today it was all about the Sun. For Pete Lawrence's section he introduced it as the 22nd June and International SUNday and a group had gathered together in the park and were sharing the Sun. He also went through what else you could do with daytime astronomy as well. It was such a delight to see Stephen's day mentioned :hamster: :hamster: :hamster:

Most excellent having SUNday mentioned.
Looks like it was a good turnout too, all those scopes pointing at our favorite star.

Oh dear!

It looks like New Zealand can see it, I wonder if the Aussies can. I'll see what I can do.
I have it saved on my hard drive recorder and I could save it onto DVD but any other suggestions would be welcome.
