On Friday 12th January 2024, the Bristol Astronomical Society hosted the official opening of the “StarChair” and “StarShed”.
The powerful wide field 6” binoculars and StarChair setup were donated by former Chairman Andy Stephens.
After the official opening, Andy Stephens gave a talk about the history of his time at the society and how he came about the binoculars and StarChair. Then David gave a retro slide projector presentation of photo and images in his astronomical catalogue, with some of the younger members of the audience learning about 35mm photographic slides for the first time.
