Newsletter

The newsletter has now been replaced by our monthly night sky guide. We thank you for supporting Sir Patrick's unique quarterly astronomical round-ups; he took great pride in writing them. We hope you have enjoyed them over the years and that you continue to find Pete Lawrence's star charts just as useful.
