well thought out evening. very informative. Would go again.
We had the best time learning about stars and looking through the telescopes. We could easily identify Jupiter, Saturn, Casseopia and Seven Sisters. Stellaria was also an easy app to use. Thanks for an interesting first explore of Exmoor Dark Skies.
