During the Christmas Fair ,outside in the freezing cold dark playground, Councillor John Ross took the time to set up a telescope and  binocular tripod for everyone to experience any planets and stars in the night sky. Whilst we searched out the heavens using John`s state of the art  equipment, he expertly answered questions and pointed out hidden astronomical sights using a smart phone application. Did you know that Orion was due to arrive around 10pm that evening ? Thank you John ,it was amazing and wonder if  telescopes might  feature on   Santa Lists for some  children and   adults  this December ?
