Earlier in the year we told you the sad news of the loss of Stuart Grainger.

Stuart’s commitment  and dedication to the society is beyond compare  (you can read more about Stuart here) and those of us who are regulars attendees at the observatory on Thursday night are sure that as well as us missing him,  “astro-dog” Smudge still misses him and his laser pen.

We recently put up a picture of Stuart so we can see his friendly face every time we go out of the door and onto the patio to gaze at the night sky.

Stuart – your one more year of being involved at the observatory has been extended for just a bit longer.
