Observatory Night - March 8, 2019

[Roger Hill]

The Clear Sky Chart is predicting great skies for the evening of Friday, March 8, 2019. 


As a result, the Observatory Night for March 15, is being brought forward a week.


Please join us, as all are welcome.


Dress warmly as conditions are expected to be in the -10 to -11 degrees Celsius.


There will be a few 'scopes available to borrow, so if you have your own telescope, please bring it.


There will be suggestions for people who want to work toward their Messier Certificate, and others for those pursuing an Explore The Universe certificate.


The gates will be open by 7:30pm

Sorry Roger, I know I said last night I'd be up to help get the roof open but due to an influx of business at the shop I'll have to work late. I'll try & get up afterwards if I'm not too tired
