Sky at Night Prog June
It's worth noting that the next programme is on on Sat 5th (12:45 to
13:10 BST), repeated on Monday the 7th (00:50 to 1:15 BST), a reversal of the usual pattern so that they both go out before the transit on the 8th. - Mike |

I was chatting to PM last night when he started describing his 12 inch reflector. He just dropped into the conversation that this was the one he used in the discovery of the Mare Orientale (on the Moon). What a claim to fame! Googling it up I see it's credited as being discovered by "Percy Wilkins and his friend Patrick Moore". Impressive stuff. -- Pete Lawrence http://www.pbl33.co.uk Most recent images http://www.pbl33.fast24.co.uk/recent_images.html |

Digiguide is showing it as the following: The Sky at Night (Scientific Documentary) Starting: 23:55 on Sunday 6th June. Duration: 25 minutes Showing on BBC 1. But I won't be able to confirm that until Monday as it only does 7 days in advance. |

I think you are right: The Radio Times web site now shows the programme per your post and no programme listed on Saturday 5th. Still nothing on the Sky at Night web site sigh. - Mike |

The review mentions live links to Greece and Egypt on BBC on the 8th. Next week's Radio Times should make it clear tomorrow. Roger |
