Lots of us birders are interested in other wildlife too and many are alos into seeing interesting astronomical events. Folk on these forums often give useful info which I have personally followed to see Jupiter, or Comets etc. Astro optics are significantly cheaper than wildlife kit, so folk could add it to their 'toolkit' for a small outlay. We are having an Astro Event/Open Afternoon & Evening at Focalpoint Optics in early February. The shop will be opening as normal on Sat 4th Feb at 10am in the morning, but then at 2pm we will be joined by out Celestron Rep who will be present to demonstrate and answer any questions on Astro Optics. The event will run until 6pm allowing some demonstrations in the dark. Tea and Coffe will be served free of charge to keep folk warm, so why not pop along and see what this hobby has to offer
