Specialized Flights and Trips page added
These pages reflect the
varied trips I am involved with
or have been on with Omega Holidays and Poseidon Arctic Voyages and I
have brought all the links onto this one easy and convenient page. It
links to the Northern Lights Flights, Lapland trips, Solar Eclipse
trips and the North Pole Voyage with Poseidon. Go to the Specialized trips page.
Every month we put a favourite picture taken by us up on this page. It has a broad range of subjects as well as Butterflies and Astronomy so do watch out for the next picture of the month and enjoy!
BBC (Radio) Lincolnshire have me in occasionally to talk about space and astronomy so if you are in Lincolnshire & the surrounding area then tune in to FM 94.9 or 104.7 to find out what's up & happening in the night sky for the month ahead. Topics covered often include a round up of sky events, planets available, what stars to look out for & identify as well as info on the ISS (International Space Station) & when it can be seen.
Over the last few years I have held approx. 9 or
10 times a year Starnights
at Gibraltar Point near Skegness in conjunction with the Lincolnshire
Wildlife Trust (LWT). I take a Telescope and show the public the night
sky, or if cloudy, I give a public talk on an aspect of Astronomy and
Space. Each evening will have a
specific theme with a publicized talk but if the sky is clear enough to
observe then the telescope will be used instead. The Starnights will
also be spread amongst two LWT sites for 2012: Gibraltar Point Visitor Centre, Skegness and Far Ings
Nature Reserve. I
also now do Starnights for Normanby Hall, North Lincolnshire and new
for
2012, 2 events at Creswell Crags in Derbyshire, so see the
Starnights page for details. There are also 3 stargazing Live
events in January being run in association with the BBC TV progamme at
the Waters Edge Centre, Barton, Monday Jan 16th, Tattershall Castle on
Tuesday Jan 17th and finally at Gibraltar Point on Wednesday Jan 18th.
