The Northern Lights - An Evening at Sherwood Observatory - 14th November 2026 - 8pm

Join the experienced astronomers, astrophotographers and aurora chasers from Astro Dog for an in-depth and visually stunning presentation on one of nature's most breathtaking light shows - the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. This in-depth evening will give you everything you need to understand, prepare for, photograph and make the most of the aurora - whether you're hoping to see it from your back garden or planning a trip to the Arctic. But this isn't just a talk. After the presentation, you'll experience an immersive ~25-minute film in Sherwood Observatory's spectacular 10-metre 360° planetarium dome, before having the chance to observe breathtaking deep sky objects through the observatory's 24" telescope - one of the largest optical telescopes available for public use in the UK (weather permitting). This event will be held at Sherwood Observatory, Nottinghamshire, starting at 8:00pm on Saturday 14th November 2026. The evening is expected to conclude at around 10:00pm - though if the skies are clear, stargazing may continue a little longer!
