Had a day out in Huddersfield today
Not the best of displays compared to many I have seen others get, but I did did the drone up to about 80mtrs and got a glimpse of some of last nights Aurora Borealis - looking across Preston:

The Alston Observatory - Jeremiah Horrocks Institute - UCLAN
The Alston Observatory is the purpose-built teaching and public outreach facility of the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute. It comprises a group of both modern and historical telescopes, a new Discovery Dome planetarium system and an exhibit on Telescopes as Time Machines funded by the Royal Astronomical Society.
A research-grade facility located near Preston, the observatory is run by enthusiastic astronomers from the University of Central Lancashire, the facility is accessible to the public during special monthly open evenings from October through March.
The centerpiece is the brand new Moses Holden Telescope, a 70 cm diameter state-of-the-art robotic telescope used for both undergraduate teaching and to encourage public engagement in science. Alongside the MHT we also have a range of smaller robotic telescopes ranging in size from 20 to 30 cm in diameter. Additionally there is the historic Wilfred Hall Telescope hosted on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The Discovery Dome is an exciting system that allows a laptop computer and digital projector to display movies onto a planetarium dome, located in our main building, as well as enhanced planetarium shows. This enables both informative material to be presented for evening events, and educational material for curriculum enhancement.
The musical accompaniment is the Blue Danube Waltz composed by Johann Strauss - performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra which is used in the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece "2001 - A Space Oddyssy"
My thanks go to Mark Norris for the info to "X"- formerly known as Twitter!".

St Bartholomew’s church was established before 1230, the tower being added around 1450 and was rebuilt in 1506, with chantries added to the north and south of the altar in 1519 and 1530. The font, dating from 1520, was a gift from the Bradley family of Bradley Hall and the family initials are on the shields decorating the sides.
The church was altered again in 1706 and in 1754 a west gallery was added for the choir and orchestra. John Wesley preached in the church in 1752 but was prevented from returning in 1753.
A major restoration was carried out in 1873 during which the west gallery was removed and the windows of the building were extensively restored, it is mostly due to this work that the fabric of the church is in such good condition.
The church stands on rising ground at the north-west side of the village and consists of chancel and nave with north and south aisles, south porch, west tower and a modern vestry at the northeast corner of the north aisle.
Chipping village is home to two wonderful pubs - The Sun Inn and Tilly's - and the delightful Brabins village store and cafe.

These little write ups are really good Paul.
I never knew all these lovely places where so close to where I live and hopefully I’ll get to visit them

The hard part for me is finding these places that can be of interest, because there's not much on maps to suggest them.
But yeah, its surprising what can be found close to your doorstep.

Couple from today
A week old Shire Horse foal at the Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre.
Lovely afternoon out if you’ve got small kids.

A rose sawfly, Oribatid mites (and bonus) plus a snout mite and a drinking spider!
This is I think a rose sawfly (Arge pagana) trapped in a spider web:
Here are Oribatid mites (about the size of a pin head) one of which has a passenger (could be a nematode):
And a snout mite (very quick these are!)
Finally:
The first time I have managed a photograph of a spider taking a drink. Amaurobius sp.
