点评:We joined the famous North Yorkshire rap posse ,"Hidden Horizons featuring Astro Dog" for a stargazing evening in Dolby in mid January. Sadly for the team, (but happily for us!) we were the only ones booked to attend.
Considering the unpredictability of the main event (i.e. The Sky), the team did a really good job of providing an interesting and interactive evening. We loved their enthusiasm and the generous way they shared their knowledge (and biscuits).
They had an inflatable planetarium just in case the views of the heavens were obscured by clouds. They'd also set up a number of different types of telescopes for a hands-on demo. They finished the evening off with an interesting slide show of astrophotography and a demonstration of starfinding software.
An additional bonus was simply being in the forest at night - and the prospect os seeing owls, bats, badgers and the like.
Would have been 5 stars had it not been for the poor signage from the carpark to the base (maybe some 'glow in the dark' stars to light the way?).
Oh yes, and don't expect them to do you a horoscope - evidently that's a different ology.
翻译:1 月中旬,我们与著名的北约克郡说唱乐队“Hidden Horizons featuring Astro Dog”一起在杜比参加了一个观星之夜。对团队来说很遗憾(但对我们来说很高兴!)我们是唯一预定参加的人。
考虑到主赛事(即 The Sky)的不可预测性,该团队在提供一个有趣且互动的夜晚方面做得非常好。我们喜欢他们的热情和他们分享知识(和饼干)的慷慨方式。
他们有一个充气天文馆,以防天空的景色被云层遮挡。他们还设置了许多不同类型的望远镜来进行动手演示。他们以有趣的天文摄影幻灯片和寻星软件演示结束了这个晚上。
一个额外的好处就是晚上在森林里——还有可能看到猫头鹰、蝙蝠、獾等。
如果不是因为从停车场到基地的指示牌不佳(也许是一些“在黑暗中发光”的星星照亮了道路?),本来是 5 星的。
哦,是的,不要指望他们会给你算星座运势——显然那是一种不同的学说。
