ImageMarch and April updates ...!

Apologies for the late updating of the MAS website for March.

As a result I decided to put twice as much work into the update and include April too ...

Some of us (depending on when you're reading this) will be either getting excited at the prospect of going to see March's total solar eclipse, or wondering when on Earth the next one will be - thinking 'I simply must see another one!' No doubt images of the beautiful event will adorn the pages of this website in the coming weeks.

The following sections have been updated: This month's night sky, Observations and Gallery.
