Stargazing

The wonders of the sky at night proved a popular option for some Quakers at Canterbury.

Many Friends, after a tiring day, took the opportunity to relax and simply stargaze with big telescopes at the South East Kent Astronomical Society. Some were even laid-back about their encounters with far off galaxies (see photo).
