Unfortunately, due to the recent weather warning we have taken the decision to cancel the ETMO open day.
The ASG is holding an Open Day at the Eric Tomney Memorial Observatory (ETMO) in Mugdock Country Park, on Saturday 4th October, starting about noon and running into the evening. Hopefully the weather will co-operate and allow us to demonstrate safe solar observing using our range of different telescopes.
All members of the Public are welcome as are members of the Society.
The Eric Tomney Memorial Observatory is located here.

Join us if you want to learn about the stars of our beautiful night sky and welcome the spring constellation Leo the Lion as Orion the Hunter departs with winter.
On a clear night we will show you stars, galaxies, planets, meteors, satellites and more with your own eyes and through the Astronomical Society of Glasgow's telescopes. If it's cloudy you will hear all about these wonders from our team of seasoned and friendly astronomers (OK, possibly eccentric too!) who will be on hand with tips on how to get the most out of your own eyes, binoculars and telescopes. No experience is necessary. Beginners are most welcome as are people who wish to bring their own telescopes and find out how to use them. And remember to wrap up warm!
Children aged 8 and over are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
Signup for this evening through Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spring-stars-over-mugdock-tickets-1234390277549)
