Information received from the Sky at Night office


BBC4 will be showing an extended version of the Sky at Night. It will go out
Monday evening at 20.30, the day after the main programme.

For our extra 10 minutes we have decided to do a monthly guide to the night
sky with Patrick and Chris Lintott.

This month we will be focusing on the constellation Pegasus, M15, M33 and
Fomalhaut plus other topical objects.


No excuse not to get that set top box now ;-)

That's good news, but it shows up on the Radio Times web site as only
five minutes longer because the morning's transmission is listed as
0100-0125BST. Mind you, it won't be the first time the Radio Times
have got the Sky at Night's timings wrong. I wrote to them last year
when they were all over the place with it, sometimes not listing it at
all and all they could say was that it wasn't anything to do with
them!

It's a pity it's not on BBC2 instead of 4, I reckon they'd get loads
of viewers at that pre-watershed time. I'm sure the BBC underestimate
the draw that astronomy has.
