June 5th Transit of Venus<br>
<br>
Hello All,<br>
I was wanting to get a list of all those members/friends that will
be bringing solar scopes to this event......if you have a scope but
not a mount or vice versa, let me know so we can pair up scopes to
mounts if necessary...<br>
This event is going to be the last of its kind in our lifetimes, so
if at all possible, come join us....bring a friend or two, and enjoy
a truly once in a lifetime event!.<br>
Please respond directly to my email <a

Once I have the details I will get in contact with you to finalize
everything.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Only 8 days until the Transit of Venus! This
is going to be one of our biggest Public Outreach events of all
time. We have a big day planned and hope to be host to hundreds,
perhaps thousands of visitors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Venus will make “first contact”
with the Sun at 6:04 PM local time and will last 6 hours.
Unfortunately the Sun will set before Venus completes it travel
across the Sun (8:56 PM). But we’ll still have plenty of time to
enjoy the show.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>We will be setting up solar
telescopes at Saltfleet Secondary School in Stoney Creek. We
plan to be set-up and ready for action by 4:00 PM. We will also
be giving out hundreds of “solar shades” glasses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>So far we have 4 solar telescopes
but we could use a lot more. If you own a solar telescope or a
solar filter we could use your help. We would also be grateful
for volunteers to answer questions from our guests. If you are
able to lend a hand, please contact us ASAP.<o:p></o:p></p>
