The Societies Public Observing meetings are organised in conjunction with Eastbourne Borough Council, and are open to the general public and members, and are advertised in EBC literature.
We bring various society telescopes, and specialised cameras and have knowledgeable society members on hand to answer questions, and help you to discover the night sky. The event is ability friendly, and is held in the early evening to make it family friendly.
Note that the start times change from month to month to accommodate the changing time of the Sun setting.
Please wrap up warmly as it can get cold.
The event is free of charge.
NEW LOCATION: Helen Garden, King Edwards Parade, Meads, Eastbourne – BN20 7XL
Plenty of car parking alongside the road. If you attend please use red light torches and not white light – you can make your Smartphone Screen Red via Settings Accessibility Display Colour Filters. Thank you
NOTE: If there is snow, ice or high winds the event will be cancelled for Health and Safety reasons. Helen Garden has a small shelter.
Also note that night-time public observing events are only organised from October to March due to requiring dark skies early in the evening.
