Come and join Dumfries Museum and members of Dumfries Astronomy Society on Saturday 19th October, 6-9pm, to learn what we can see with the naked eye, binoculars and telescopes.

We’ll learn how to find some basic features to navigate around the night sky from our latitude and how this revolves throughout the winter months. The museum will be open to discover the building’s connections to astronomy and explore some related artefacts with short talks given by staff through the evening.

Free admission, though donations to Dumfries Astronomy Society will be appreciated. Warm clothing needed and waterproofs. All ages welcome, no need to book, just turn up. Hot drinks will be provided.
