Guest kiaratrak Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi folks. I've been contacted by a teacher from a school in Sleaford lincolnshire. There are looking for an expert to come to the school one evening week commencing 16th March to talk to some interested kids about astronomy. They are hoping to have some telescopes set up. Would anyone be interested in helping? I'm no expert im still trying to figure out my own scope! Lol Cheers kiara xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kiaratrak Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sounds great. They want someone to guide them through the night sky etc. Are you on Facebook at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, Ron Clarke. Might be worth looking at ELAC on Facebook as well for other 'locals'! Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I would volunteer but I live too far away. I've done this sort of thing before and kids are really fascinated by it. On the whole, they are not interested in 8th and 9th mag galaxies that appear as a fuzzy patch but show them the Moon, Saturn's rings and some of the bright deep sky objects like M45, M42, etc. I would include M31 but it is poorly placed this time of year. If you have tripod mounted binoculars, they will like the Hyades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
