Looks as though it might be a good week for sky watching. We are expecting the Lyrid meteor shower. The moon is in crescent which should help, despite the increasing amount of unnecessary space junk being launched by Must et al. So up at midnight.

Here’s Lyrid hoping for clear skies, we won’t make it up to Galloway or Highlands but the sky is fairly dark here where we are in The Borders so fingers crossed and the forecast is promising anyway.
