--EVENT UPDATED.
Dear all,
let us take part in this year's Westhavelland Astrotreffen. There you'll get the chance to observe through a variety of instruments, from small refractors to pretty big reflectors.

One of the many targets we're gonna observe is comet 21/P Giacobini-Zinner, a little periodic comet giving a show these weeks. Discovered in 1900, it has a period of 6,6years. During the current perihelion passage it has reached around 6th magnitude. It has been an easy binocular target from early August; I could instantly locate it through my 25x100.

MORE DETAILS:
We have one car confirmed, with space for five people. A second car is being arranged, please see the comments.
Note that in case of clear skies, we're gonna return pretty late, around 3-4AM.
Meeting location: HEM Tankstelle, next to S-bahn Wedding: https://goo.gl/maps/U1smznSQnbE2
