Join the Dedham Vale Society Dark Skies at Thorington Studio on Friday 6th December at 7:00pm for an evening of astronomy and if clear viewing the skies through telescopes with their expert astronomers.

The evening will include examining the constellations of Auriga the Charioteer and Taurus the Bull. They are the jewels of the Seven Sisters forming the Pleiades, the California Nebula, the Flaming Star Nebula and many others.

The event will take place at the Dark Sky Discovery Centre in Thorington Street, CO6 4SS. There will be a talk traversing the wonders that are visible and hidden within these constellations, looking at some of the stellar nurseries where new stars are being formed.  

Following the talk there will be refreshments and if the skies are clear you will be able to see some of the sights from the talk. Doors open at 7:00 with the talk starting at 7:30pm.

As usual there will be a number of experienced astronomers with their telescopes to guide you around the night skies. If you have your own equipment that you wish to bring along please do so. The Dark Skies group can also assist you with any queries that you may have.
