"I wanted to drop you an email to let you know that the 3 telescopes have arrived safely today, and how brilliant they are! We'll get the hang of them soon enough, but we've built one of them this morning and they're really impressive.

In November we had a star gazing evening with folks from the Bath Astronomy Society – we used the telescopes you kindly donated. The kids really enjoyed the evening – seeing the rings on Saturn was a highlight. Now we’re lending the scopes out to the children for a week at a time so they can use them in the evenings. I have attached a few photos.
