Our speaker this month will be Ryan Zhu, North American Sales Manager for Svbony, Retevis, and Retekess Canada. 

Ryan will be speaking to us about affordable astrophotography options available to amateur astronomers of all backgrounds and levels of experience, and how capturing stunning, high quality images of the night sky doesn’t have to break the bank. Focusing on new products and technologies available through Svbony, Ryan will demonstrate how budget-friendly and beginner level astrophotography setups can deliver great, professional results, without emptying your wallet. 

This month is also our Member’s Silent Auction. Reminder that this month the church hall opens earlier than our usual 7:00 – viewing for auction lots will begin at 6:45PM sharp, with bidding to begin at 7:05PM. So remember to show up early for a chance to acquire some of the awesome gear the club is offering. This auction is for members of the HAA only, and payment from auction winners for all lots must be given prior to the end of our meeting and can be done through cash, cheque, or e-transfer. 

As usual, our meeting will begin at 7:30PM, at which time bidding will be put on hold. After Ryan’s presentation, we will have our intermission wherein bidding will resume. Following this, there will be door prizes, as well as our Sky This Month presentation.
