WE ASKED: What are you most looking forward to for the rest of 2020?

Tony Moss When our local astronomy club can meet up again.

Laurence Blundell The oppositions of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and also (hopefully!) visiting some astronomy shows, some of which had to be postponed earlier in the year.

Gary Hendrick Great Conjunction of Jupiter/Saturn on 21st Dec.

Keith Moseley Any decent comet that doesn’t disintegrate or hide in the Southern Hemisphere ..... or just some noctilucent clouds will do.

David Millar Galloway Star Camp in October.

Ben Head Last night I saw four meteors in the space of 90 mins; three were dim but one was really bright. I can’t wait for the Perseids this year – I’ve found the perfect location to watch.

AR Gavin The launch of the NASA Mars 2020 mission.

Barry Gowans Honestly, I’m looking forward to the freedom of travelling to the local dark-sky site. Anything else (specific) is just a little bonus.

Peter Cooper The astronomical event of NO CLOUDS in the sky, so I can finally see Swan. (Yes, I’m exercising sarcasm: three weeks of cloud cover does that to you)
