In partnership with the Hamilton Public Library the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers are holding a Telescope Clinic on Saturday March 8, 2025 at the Valley Park Library in Hamilton.  The event runs from 1:00 pm to 4 pm.

Valley Park Library
970 Paramount Drive
Stoney Creek, Hamilton
L8J 1Y2

Join us on Friday February 14 for our monthly meeting.  Doors open at 7:00 pm and the meeting will begin as usual at 7:30 pm.

Our guest speaker this month is Dr. Elizabeth Hays from the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Centre.  She will be talking to us about T Corona Borealis, one of the few known recurrent novae.  After 80 years, this white dwarf and red giant binary system is showing signs that it will go nova again in the near future.  The nova should be bright enough to catch a glimpse by eye in the first days.

Are you looking to buy a new telescope for someone (or yourself) for the holidays? Or maybe you already have one and are looking at getting some help with setting it up and using it, or even the fixing of minor repairs. This telescope clinic is free of charge and no pre registration is required.

The clinic will be held this Saturday November 16 at Valley Park Library, located at 970 Paramount Road in Hamilton, between the hours of 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
