Our first cohort of 'Scope Hosts' visited our Community Observatory last month to begin their training. They learned how to use all of our telescopes and together we discussed methods and activities that we could use to bring guests closer to the night sky. Once finished, these local enthusiasts will be to host groups of star-gazers at Plas Bodfa and start their own dark-sky inspired projects and research.

The Arsyllfa Busby – Braden Observatory is supported by the Sustainable Development Fund, a Welsh Government initiative in the Isle of Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
