Full Moon by Dr Mike Foulkes

Mike is the director of the British Astronomical Association’s Saturn, Uranus and Neptune Section. He is a keen observer, particularly of the Moon and planets. Professionally he has worked in the spacecraft industry on both communication satellites and scientific spacecraft.

The Moon is a fascinating object to observe both with small and large telescopes. However the time around the full Moon can be frustrating for many observers as its brightness can make observing many objects in the sky more difficult.
After briefly describing out nearest neighbour, this talk will make a case for observing the Moon when it is close to or at full perigee. It will describe some of the features that can be seen including lunar eclipses.

The meeting will also include a tour of the night sky.

We look forward to seeing you.
