Already I have got a two week module of my course finished, go me. Sadly the weaher has not been very suitable for stargazing, although I did manage to get my refractor out once this week to look at the Gibbous Moon, and as always, I was completely blown away, no amouth if imaging can prepare you for seeing our closest natural celestial neighbour first hand. Sadly not long after I had managed to get a good looka t some of the more interesting abrts at medium magnification, the clouds had rolled in from sunset.
On a lighter note, I have began negotiations with the base XO and various other members of the comand to establish an RN astronomy association based in Collingwood, and should it take of and gain popularity, funding towards equipement.
So here is hoping for more clear skies soon, and a bright future for astronomy in the RN.
