Big thanks to all our friends and companies that have supported the Observatory by donating some of these amazing items for us to auction off. We are very thankful in these hard times. 

We hope that you are all staying safe and staying home. As strange for us as it feels, thank you for staying away from the Spurn area at this time, we very much look forward to welcoming you back when the time comes, but for now stay home, stay safe and save lives, thanks.
