Night Sky Info - Weekly info for the night sky
We are open to anyone in the
Isle of Man wishing to know more about the wonders of the night sky.
Expert or beginner, you are
welcome to come along to a couple of meetings and see what we are about
before you will need to join.
Our regular meetings are held in the Observatory
at
7.45pm for 8.00pm
on the first Thursday
of each month.
The Observatory location
(OS map ref SC 286 789) is indicated by the large blue arrow within the map
alongside. Access is via the signposted track that leads to the arrow tip,
and not via Ballamona Farm. Unfortunately, there is no convenient public
transport available.
Note: Clicking upon the map will open it within a new
window.
Never heard of the Isle of Man? No idea where it is? Well, if you have Google Earth installed on your computer you can find us by clicking here which will launch the program and fly you directly there. If that does not work for you, right click on the hyperlink, and select "Save target as...", saving this somewhere convenient. Opening the saved link should then do the trick. Not got Google Earth? Get it here. Don't stop there though... there's Google Moon and Google Mars.

Yes,
that’s right. You’ve spotted it… the inevitable Guest Book!
Website
visitors will often enough shun the very idea of signing a Guest Book. Which
is fine, for they are not for everyone, and we won’t engage in urging you to
do so. For those visitors though, who do like to add their comments, or view
those of others, click here or on the Guest Book.
Should
you opt to leave a message, here are a couple of points. Firstly, we don’t
pass on your e-mail address to any third party. Secondly, all e-mails shown
in the Guest Book are displayed in an anti-spam-bot format.
