Society observations ...

It has to be said that astronomy is all about discovering, searching for and looking at the wonders of the Solar system and Universe beyond ...

With this in mind, this section of our website features observation reports and accounts of astronomical field trips from close to home and around the world!
A web-based log such as this can only be a success if people are willing to share their experiences with the rest of the Society. So, please feel free to send your observing reports to observations@maccastro.com.
