SUMMARY:Daphnia by John Smith
DESCRIPTION:Daphnia (water fleas)\, by virtue of their size and the transparency of their shell\, are the ideal subject for live microscope study. Tonight we will explore the results of over 250 years of research into the biology of this fascinating freshwater crustacean. Please bring a sample from your own pond or tank if you have one.

SUMMARY:The Perseid Meteor shower observation (subject to clear skies)
DESCRIPTION:The Moon sets at 10.00pm so prospects are good if the weather is kind. Hopefully a good showing for our annual viewing of one of the best meteor showers of the year. Subject to clear skies we will meet at Brampton valley way car park on the Spratton Road near Brixworth around 9pm to set up.  Guests are very welcome to join us to observe the meteors and other celestial highlights visible in the company of our knowledgeable members. Please note there are no refreshments or toilet facilities at the venue. \n📱 How to Photograph the Perseid Meteor Shower with Your Phone \n🌌 Find somewhere dark. The further you are from streetlights\, the better. Give your eyes 20–30 minutes to adjust.\n🌠 Where to look: Face north-east after dark. The meteors appear to come from the constellation Perseus\, but they can streak across any part of the sky\, so keep looking up rather than focusing on one spot.\n📱 Keep your phone still. A tripod is ideal\, but propping it on a wall\, fence or car roof works too. \n🍎 iPhone\nUse the 1x camera.\nTurn on Night Mode and\, if it appears\, set it to a 30-second exposure.\nUse the 3-second timer so you don’t shake the phone. \n🤖 Android\nSamsung: Use Pro Mode (ISO 800–1600\, 20–30 second exposure\, focus to Infinity).\nGoogle Pixel: Use Night Sight → Astrophotography mode on a tripod. \n✨ Point your camera about 45° above the horizon and don’t zoom in.\n⭐ Then be patient! Leave it taking repeated long exposures for 30–60 minutes.\nYou won’t catch every meteor\, but the more photos you take\, the better your chances. \nGood luck\, and if you capture something amazing\, don’t forget to share it with us! 🌠📸

SUMMARY:Partial Solar eclipse guidance
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITHOUT APPROPRIATE SOLAR EYE PROTECTION ⚠️\nLooking directly at the Sun\, even for a few seconds\, can cause serious and permanent damage to your eyesight. This applies throughout the eclipse—even when more than 90% of the Sun is covered by the Moon. Ordinary sunglasses are NOT safe. Smoked glass\, camera filters and homemade filters are NOT safe. \nTo look directly at the eclipse\, you must use specially made\, certified solar eclipse viewing glasses that meet the appropriate safety standards and are undamaged. \nIf you do not have suitable solar eclipse glasses\, DO NOT look directly at the Sun. Use an indirect viewing method instead\, such as projecting an image of the eclipse onto white paper using a simple pinhole projector. Never look through the pinhole at the Sun. \nNever look at the Sun through binoculars\, a telescope\, a camera lens or any other optical equipment unless it has a correctly fitted\, approved solar filter over the FRONT of the equipment. Looking through unfiltered optical equipment can cause instant and permanent eye damage. Solar eclipse glasses alone are not sufficient protection when looking through binoculars\, telescopes or camera viewfinders. \nA Spectacular Deep Partial Eclipse\nOn the evening of Wednesday 12 August 2026\, skies across the UK will play host to one of the most impressive astronomical events seen for decades. Although the eclipse will not be total from the UK\, more than 90% of the Sun will be covered by the Moon in many parts of the country\, creating a spectacular deep partial eclipse. Even more unusually\, it will take place as the Sun is setting. \nWhen to Look\nThe eclipse begins during the early evening\, reaches its maximum shortly after 7.00 pm BST and ends shortly after 8.00 pm. Exact timings will vary slightly depending on location. In Northamptonshire\, the eclipse is expected to:\nBegin at approximately 6.15 pm\nReach maximum eclipse at around 7.11 pm\nFinish shortly after 8.00 pm \nFinding the Best Viewing Spot\nBecause the Sun will be low in the sky throughout the eclipse\, choose somewhere with:\nA clear\, unobstructed view towards the west or north-west\nAs few trees or buildings as possible blocking the horizon\nHigher ground\, if available\nParks\, hills and open countryside may provide excellent views—if the weather cooperates. \n⚠️ PLEASE VIEW THE ECLIPSE SAFELY ⚠️ \nA Great Opportunity for Photography\nWith the eclipsed Sun hanging low over the horizon\, this could be an excellent opportunity to capture dramatic photographs using trees\, church spires or landscapes as foregrounds. However\, never look through a camera viewfinder at the Sun\, and never point a camera or lens at the Sun unless suitable approved solar-filter equipment is correctly fitted. An unfiltered telephoto lens can damage both eyesight and camera equipment. \nFingers Crossed for Clear Skies!\nDeep partial eclipses like this are rare from the UK\, and the combination of a sunset eclipse and more than 90% coverage makes this one particularly special.\nWhether you are a seasoned astronomer or simply curious about the sky\, it should be a memorable event—but please enjoy it safely.
