Lecture(via Zoom): Astronomy from Towns & Suburbs

In this talk Graham Darke (SAS President) will explain how we can optimise our observing and equipment for urban locations which is something that we have all had to contend with during the pandemic lockdown.

Graham will look at how we can still get the most out of observing time despite the challenges that urban locations can bring.

80% of the world’s population live in towns and cities.

Anyone living in these places, who has an interest in the night sky, must contend with industrial and light pollution among other challenges.
