If you would like to take up this offer\, then you can either contact Gerard Giligan or perhaps you would like to contact Adele direct: – adele@astronomia.co.uk\, web site address is http://www.astronomia.co.uk/ \nAs part of the presentation at the QMH on Friday evening\, Adele along with Neil Phillipson hope to demonstrate the basics of telescopes designs\, and then following a tea/coffee break a more advance lecture for the long standing members. \nFor the Saturday\, Adele is unable to stay at the observatory too late as due to other commitments\, so if you wish to attend\, please do try to be there for 3pm. \nFrom the Astronomia website: \nAstronomia is actually rather unique. We’re specialists in optics – and that’s all we do! Our passion is for telescopes and binoculars – of all shapes and sizes – and we take enormous pleasure in helping all kinds of astronomers (especially beginners) to select the right instrument for their needs. \nAt Astronomia we have a rule – if it won’t give you a view that makes you say “Wow!”\, we don’t sell it. With optics\, we don’t compromise. That’s why we’ve identified the very best telescope manufacturers and brought their finest instruments together to form a range that is virtually unparalleled in the UK. And when we say a ‘range’ – we mean the biggest range of telescopes in the South of England – and at Astronomia you can see\, touch\, try and even lift every single one on display! \nSo we’ve got the biggest range. That part was easy. But we haven’t stopped there. Below are some of the really special things we do because\, frankly\, we’re hell-bent on being the very best astronomy shops there are! \n\nFull-Price Trade-ins – bring back any telescope within 12 months of purchase\, and we’ll give you the full price back against an upgraded model! …\n30-Day Money-back Guarantee – If you change your mind\, all you have to do is return the item in saleable condition and we’ll give you a full\, immediate refund. …\nLifetime Care – We’ll collimate your telescope for free\, for life – just bring it back to us and we’ll return it to optimum performance. We have our own workshop at our Dorking store and also work with a number of UK service centres for specialist repairs.\nAlways Observing – If your telescope is with us for any reason\, we’ll try to offer you a loan instrument because we don’t want you to miss any precious clear nights!\nPart of the Community – We don’t hide away in our shop selling telescopes.

The festival traces its origins to a romantic legend that the Cowherd Star (Altair) and Weaver Star (Vega)\, lovers separated by the Milky Way\, are allowed to meet just once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month. \nPeople\, especially children\, write their wishes such as “I want to become good at football” or “I want to become an astronaut” on narrow strips of colored paper called tanzaku and hang them\, along with other paper ornaments\, on bamboo branches placed in the backyards or entrances of their homes. \nThey then pray hard in the hope that their wishes will come true. Towns and cities take on a festive mood during the Tanabata season\, with colorful decorations. Special events and concerts based on the Tanabata legend are held at places like science museums and planetariums. \nAt the Liverpool Garden Festival there will be workshops so people can have a go at Origami\, Calligraphy\, making paper decorations and will be able to attach their tanzaku on the bamboo on site. The Liverpool Astronomical Society will be showing (weather permitting) our nearest star through special telescopes. \nThere will be refreshments on site. The main Tanabata event will be taking place on Saturday 12th July between 10am – 3pm. \nContacts:\nThe Festival Garden\nCaroline Bamford\nFestival Gardens Ranger\n07795 800 970 \nThe Conservation Volunteers\nFestival Gardens\nRiverside Drive\nLiverpool\nL17 7BF \nLiverpool A.

There are also illustrated talks taking place\, along with free tea\, coffee and biscuits. \nPlease remember\, if you do NOT have specialist equipment you must NEVER view the sun through a magnifying device such as binoculars or telescopes – without the correct filters you will almost certainly become permanently blind! (Think of using a magnifying glass focussing the sun to burn something and multiply by many times!) \nOur telescopes have specialised filters which remove the harmful heat and light\, enabling you to see\, without becoming blind\, the detail such as prominences (huge eruptions of plasma\, often many many times the size of the Earth) which are usually invisible to us due to the rest of the sun’s extreme brightness. \n  URL:https://liverpoolas.org/event/international-sun-day-22nd-june-2014/ LOCATION:The Leighton Observatory at Pex Hill\, Pex Hill\, Cronton\, Widnes\, Cheshire\, WA8 5QW\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:All Events,Astronomical Events,Equinoxes and Solstices,Free Events,Public Events,Solar Events,Solstices,Special Events,Summer Solstice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20140426T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20140426T153000 DTSTAMP:20260526T044828 CREATED:20140323T191952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140323T192012Z UID:5968-1398508200-1398526200@liverpoolas.org SUMMARY:Merseyside Astronomy Day 2014 DESCRIPTION:Continuing the MADness from the 2013 Merseyside Astronomy Day\, Liverpool John Moores University’s Astrophysics Research Institute are pleased to announce that MAD IX will be held on Saturday 26th April 2014. \nThe event will include a series of talks from a range of professional astrophysicists\, with some additions this year in our new venue including an Ask the Astronomer panel session and an exhibition. \nPlease Note:\nSpaces in the talks are strictly limited.

Jarvis\, Mark Thompson FRAS\, Gary Fildes FRAS\, Nick Howes FRAS and Professor Andy Newsam\, to trade stalls by a variety of vendors\, and educational exhibitions from a selection of well known organisations such as the Kielder Observatory and the Campaign for Dark Skies\, as well as a car-boot sale there is bound to be something of interest to all. \nThe festival tickets are only £5 for adults and all accompanied children are free\, making this an excellent value for money family event. Tickets for each presentation are just £5 each – you won’t find London prices here!\nPlease see the tickets page on The Knowledge Observatory’s website for full information on pricing. \nIt is very much hoped that the North-West Astronomy Festival will become a regular annual occurrence\, enabling a wide assortment of astronomical groups and traders to interact\, whilst also bringing the the fascinating science of astronomy to a new audience and an interested public. \nWe would like to take this opportunity to wish Andrew\, Susan and the rest of the Knowledge Observatory team our support and the very best of luck in this endeavour. \nWe’re looking forward to attending and very much hope to see many of you there too. \nClick for full-size PDF.The Knowledge Observatory North-West

It also looks at our vision of space through science fiction including meeting one of Doctor Who’s Daleks. Scientific instruments\, telescopes\, lively interactives\, meteorites and Dan Dare Models will be on display. Visitors can also learn about star-gaxing in ancient times\, what life would be like on different planets and how they put man on the Moon.
