It was great to have Simon Parkin and the Meridian TV crew visit the New Forest Observatory – they are a very professional outfit and they make live broadcasting appear so easy! So once again, the familiar shape of the satellite van parked on the verge outside the NFO attracted the usual attention – it really is an incredible piece of high technology – a film studio on wheels with satellite broadcast capabilities – amazing. Simon gave the weather report and had a few words with me about the current Perseid meteor shower. At least, with all the cloud, it didn’t actually rain on us 🙂
