Members of the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers will be sharing an evening of Astronomy, telescope equipment demonstrations, and viewing of Jupiter, the Moon, and other celestial objects. The Brantford tourism center also has a fine auditorium and there will be several informative talks during the evening.

We will be setting up October 24th, rain or shine, at 7 PM, and will remain until about 11 PM. Note that daytime clouds often dissipate as evening approaches, so plan to come regardless.

Here’s a map of the location:

Come early to see what it takes to assemble and set up a telescope, or come on time and get a good look through those same telescopes. Either way, enjoy the talks, indoor demonstrations, and handouts.

If you have a telescope, bring it along: we can help set it up and point it at Jupiter for you.
If you have binoculars, by all means bring them too. Binoculars are an excellent and easy to use way to get more from the sky.

As part of the International Year of Astronomy, we will also have some handouts to interest
children and adults.
