West Kintyre Stargazers are holding their launch event at The Putechan Hotel on Sunday 28th October 2012. This event will begin at 5pm with an introductory talk and presentation from Dr Alec MacKinnon, an astrophysicist from Glasgow University. Following this at around 6.30pm there will be an outdoor night sky observation session. All are welcome, so find that telescope, dust it down, bring it along and have some fun while you learn!
For more information on this free event, how to book places and how to join West Kintyre Stargazers, go to:

You do not need to own a telescope to enjoy the night sky, binoculars and the naked eye will allow you to see enough to appreciate the wonder of the night sky in Kintyre.
Hope to see you there!
