"The autumnal weather in Lowestoft has been very poor and so very little astronomy has been possible at the Jodrell Plank Observatory. I was reminded of the wonderful dark and clear skies in France and some images I managed to capture en Provence. - Quite frankly the sky was a sea of starlight" - Kurt Thrust acting CEO and current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
