Discussion topic of the evening.
“Look at the Fine Messier You’ve Gotten Us Into”
5th Saturday! We’ll have an open mic discussion. This one on Messier objects! Tell us which one you like and maybe why! Or – check the link on the website – look through the list and let us know which one you particularly like. No science degree required – just the visual impact is all you need to say!
