The ASG's free public lectures for the 2019-20 session are as follows.  These are normally held in Room 6.41 Royal College, Strathclyde University unless otherwise advised.  Access is via the Montrose Street entrance, take the lift to Level 3, exit the lift and take the 2nd set of steps on your left, go through the double glass doors.  Room 6.41 is on your left approximately half way along the corridor.  The lectures start at 7:30pm and are preceded from 6:45pm by either a presentation on the month's skywatching highlights or by a social event giving you the opportunity to meet other members.

We received the following message from the Astronomical Society of Malta:

In commemoration of the 50 year anniversary of Apollo 11 and the first human landing on the moon, the Astronomical Society of Malta is organizing an international collaboration entitled “Moon For All Mankind - 50”. Anyone from around the world can join this collaboration by filling in the following Google Form and submitting their best photo of the moon. 
 
 
The submissions will be pinned on the globe on the same page at the location provided in the Google Form. Partial lunar photos are encouraged as they will be more unique however any moon photo will be accepted. The best moon photo from each country will eventually be selected for a 2D Map poster.
