About

Very brief overview of the activities of the members of the Dutch Society for Weather and Astronomy. SHOTS: - A shooting star shoots down from a starry sky; - a boy and a girl watch it; the boy makes a wish; - an amateur astronomer watches the same shooting star in his observatory and makes a note on a star map; - another man at his desk later processes the astronomer's note on a map of the Netherlands; - in a workshop in The Hague, amateur astronomers build their own telescopes: They assemble tubes, grind mirrors, assemble a telescope and rotate it; - In his observatory in Halfweg, Mr. Meesters gazes at the sky through his homemade telescope.
