Very good stargazing! - The stargazing was really good saw lots of constellations which the guide pointed out. Had a look through the telescope at some really cool star clusters and Jupiter. Even got a photo. Guide very knowledgeable. Only issue is the meeting point on this website was wrong and we rang several times only to get a very unhelpful man who couldn't tell us exactly where to go. This meant be missed the first bit of the tour which is annoying as we paid a lot for it! Meeting point needs updated as it is not anywhere near 4 square.
