Outside Visit -Huddersfield Astronomical Society

On Monday 29th Oct the Club visited the Observatory of Huddersfield Astronomical Society
The Observatory muddy path looked very different on a dark cold evening .
	Peter Bill and John inside the Observatory listening to the talk.
Unfortunatley the night was overcast and so we had a very interesting talk of the night sky, stars, planets and constellations with Ilustrations shown inside the dome of the Observatory. The evening was finished off with a pub meal at the nearby public House the Sands House.
