" Very few people asked to point out the stars that make up the constellation Draco the Dragon would be able to do so. The dragon's stars are not particularly bright and the shape is difficult to recognise amongst the many stars in this part of the sky. If you would like to see Draco for yourself, first find the pole star Polaris. The constellation is circum-polar from the Northern Hemisphere and sits between Ursa Minor- the Pole star and the constellation Hercules".

" The maximum peak for the Lyrid Meteor shower was expected last night. It was a poor night for meteor imaging with a waxing gibbous Moon washing out all but the brightest. We did manage to see one fireball but we were unable to image it". - Pip Stakkert - Imaging Team Leader/
