We use this page to provide insights into the history and activities of ERA, providing links to some of our archived documents and images of historical rather than astronomical interest.
Contents to be added will include:
- ERA’s beginnings including the origins of the TS20 telescope, early meetings at the Friends Meeting House in Beverley, and a few example documents from early monthly meetings and AGMs. This will be pre-covid 19.
- 2020 onwards. Starting with the NAW event in early March 2020, the lock-down years, the container and subsequent recovery of ERA, our support for others etc.
