On the 27th November 2024 several members enjoyed some dark clear skies at our observatory to get some fine views of Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn through our large scopes. With steady air following the recent storm, cloud features were easily discernible on both Jupiter and Saturn along with the four Galilean moons of Jupiter and Saturn's moons Titan and Rhea clearly seen. New members enjoyed learning their way around the night sky, guided by other members and binoculars were used to view several star clusters and nebulae and many satellites including a very bright ISS pass. The scopes were slewed to the Pleiades and he Great Andromeda Galaxy before partial cloud and freezing fog brought an end to the evening.
