Johan Moolman captured these incredible images at Kambro during the 2024 star party:

Prof. Francis Thakeray grew up on the extensive property at the Radcliffe Observatory, from my birth in 1952 until 1972. As a teenager I often served as a night assistant for my father, Andrew David Thackeray (known as "ADT"). I also used the wonderful 12-inch reflector which was established (adjacent the 74-inch reflector) with the enthusiasm of amateur astronomers from Pretoria and Johannesburg branches of ASSA. My father interacted closely with amateurs, including Jack Bennett whose discoveries of a spectacular comet and a supernova were officially verified through ADT.

Our future monthly meetings will be held at the CBC Mount Edmund.

The meetings are held in a classroom of the school. We will combine meetings in future with a video meeting similar to our monthly meetings on Jitsi, to accommodate our regular callers-in from all over the world.

Those of you that do not know the venue, please please ask at the entrance.

Our monthly Observing Evenings will also continue on the cricket field of CBC Mount Edmund. See above for the next observing evening
