Looking Up - 14 September 2018

--:--
From time to time star-gazers, astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers get together in a remote, dark place for a Star Party. These happen all over the world, including in South Africa. Kechil is joined here in Leeuwenboschfontein by John Richards with his telescope, describing the heavenly treasures that were briefly visible before the snow clouds came over. You will hear the sounds in the background of people setting up their telescopes and discussing the night's observing.
