COMET HUNT
Several members will be on Barr Beacon this evening around 7pm to try and observe comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas again. After observing, we will then be heading to the club to meet up with our members who are not observing.
The forecast is reasonable with clear patches from 7pm onwards so should hopefully be visible with cameras and binoculars. Also bring a warm coat to cut out the wind on Barr Beacon.

Walsall Astronomical Society
