Members of the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers will be sharing an evening of Astronomy, telescope equipment demonstrations, and viewing of Saturn, the Moon, and other celestial objects.

We will be setting up in Grimsby on April 4th,

(note: the event was a success. there will not be a repeat of it on April 5)
with a rain/cloud date of April 5th, at 8 PM,

and will remain until about 11 PM.

Currently, the rain and clouds are forecast to clear out late Saturday afternoon making for a clear night.

There is a nice promo article in this week’s Grimsby Lincoln News:

(The article does say it starts at 7pm – but G&G can be there for any early arrivals)

Those who come early will be able to see what it takes to assemble and set up a telescope.

If you have a telescope, bring it along: we can help set it up and point it at Saturn 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.
