We went to AstroFest in London, four years after our previous visit (two events missed due to the pandemic, last year missed due to illness).

We stayed in the same hotel; just as noisy due to the trains:


We travelled down Thursday night, thus avoiding the train strike yesterday, and travelled home this evening.  The event was as great as ever, with lots of fascinating talks, including several about new large telescopes and their Petabytes of data, arriving soon.

At the 2020 AstroFest we bought a telescope.  We decided it needed a permanent setting, since it is a bit too big and heavy to be easily moved.  So this year, we bought a dome!  It will hopefully be installed around Easter.
