Join us this Friday, May 12 for our members meeting! Our guest speaker for the evening is acclaimed author Alan Dyer and he will be presenting “How to Photograph and Still Enjoy the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse“.

With the Great North American Eclipse coming to Canada on April 8, 2024, now is the time to start preparing for the big day. Alan presents his tips and techniques for viewing and photographing the solar eclipse, using methods that best ensure success and still allow you to see and enjoy the eclipse! 

Alan has chased 16 total solar eclipses — on land, in the air. and at sea, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, on two oceans, and on five continents. Alan is co-author with the late Terence Dickinson of The Backyard Astronomer’s Guide. Asteroid #78434 is named for him. 

Observing Director Steve Germann will also be there with the May edition of The Sky This Month.
We will also be giving away some door prizes. Don’t forget that we gladly accept donations of food or cash for delivery to Hamilton FoodShare. Anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated!

Doors open at 7:00 PM and the meeting begins at 7:30 PM. For those not able to attend in person, we will be livestreaming the meeting on ZOOM for club members and will also be posted on our YouTube channel after the meeting.

We hope to see you there!
