News and Program

We will meet on Friday 15th of October at around noon and have lunch at the observatory. The meeting will start on Friday afternoon at around 2 pm and continue after breakfast on Saturday. The meeting will end Saturday at around 3pm. On Friday evening we will have dinner in a pub in Schalkenmehren. Please bring your own food if you arrive on Friday before lunch. There is a kitchen with the possibility to prepare food at Hoher List Observatory. The organisers will bring food for Saturdays breakfast (bread+marmelade, honey...) and lunch (canned ravioli). Lets prepare the lunch together. We will also organise coffee for the breaks. People staying in the observatory should bring a sleeping bag and bedding. In case you need help on Friday, you can call the observatory under 06592 / 2150, or call Manuel Metz on his mobile phone (0171-1457213). He will be at Hoher List from wednesday onward.
