The Glorious Twelfth
As part of artranspennine08, Dave Griffiths will lead an amateur astronomical field-trip to a remote moorland location on 12 August, from dusk till dawn the following day. If the seeing is still, together we will observe and record the celebrated Perseid meteor shower which climaxes in the northern hemisphere around this date. You may bring a looking-glass of choice, or survey the heavens with your naked eye. Our horizontal scrutiny may result in convivial connection with one another and the firmament. Our site, on the northernmost edge of the Transpennine corridor, will try to escape the creeping smog of light pollution eroding England's dark-sky areas. If you are interested in joining this rustic ramble, please get in touch - exact itinerary and location to be confirmed. |
