Happy astronomy day! Tonight, Saturday May 11, we have our public observing night scheduled from 8:30 – 11 PM.

Originally scheduled for McQueston Park on the mountain, we have relocated to Bayfront Park.  (There is a carnival at McQueston, and although it sounds like fun, there just isn’t room for us there this month.  We’ll be back at McQueston another time.)

Everyone is welcome to come out for this fun outreach event.  Bring your telescope, bring your binoculars, bring your family and friends!  We will be meeting in the parking lot of Bayfront Park, on the beautiful Hamilton waterfront, at Harbourfront Drive and Bay Street North.  There are usually lots of passersby and visitors to the park and the more scopes we have to show off the better! 

The forecast is looking only mediocre, but there is a chance of clear skies to begin the evening, and there is no rain forecast.  It’s a lovely moon phase tonight and if clear enough we can see the moon pass through M44, the Beehive Cluster. At worst we will have a fun visit.

We hope to see you there!
