If you missed our January meeting last Thursday, Roger Hill presented the NOVA Program (New Observers to Visual Astronomy) which starts on January 21. There are only 4 seats left, so book soon! The NOVA Program is a 8-part series of seminars designed for new and beginner level amateur astronomers. Even "experienced" astronomers who never learned "proper basics" will benefit. Space is limited so sign-up now by contacting Roger Hill. The program will take place at the RASC Hamilton Centre Observatory and combine classroom instruction as well as "time under the stars". This is a bona fide professional curriculum led by an experienced lecturer. Graduates will receive their Graduation Certificates at the banquet in June. This program is free for RASC Hamilton centre Members but there will be a $ 5.00 per class ($ 40 total) fee will cover classroom expenses. Not a RASC Hamilton Centre member yet? Now would be a good time because this program won't be offered again until Fall/Winter 2013 at the earliest.

If you missed our January meeting last Thursday, Roger Hill presented the NOVA Program (New Observers to Visual Astronomy) which starts on January 21. There are only 4 seats left, so book soon! The NOVA Program is a 8-part series of seminars designed for new and beginner level amateur astronomers. Even "experienced" astronomers who never learned "proper basics" will benefit. Space is limited so sign-up now by contacting Roger Hill. The program will take place at the RASC Hamilton Centre Observatory and combine classroom instruction as well as "time under the stars". This is a bona fide professional curriculum led by an experienced lecturer. Graduates will receive their Graduation Certificates at the banquet in June. This program is free for RASC Hamilton centre Members but there will be a $ 5.00 per class ($ 40 total) fee will cover classroom expenses. Not a RASC Hamilton Centre member yet? Now would be a good time because this program won't be offered again until Fall/Winter 2013 at the earliest.

I have difficulty making it to meetings much earlier than 7:30, and I'll need time to set up, so it's an 8pm start. The expectation currently is that the classroom portion will take an hour, or so, and then we can go outside and actually see what we've just talked about, get a head start on the homework, or just open up the floor to ! It won't go too late, as I normally get up at 4:30am to get to work. I'm expecting that there will be some other members who will show up to offer expertise, but I can't guarantee that. I'll be sending out an email to all the participants about what to bring (pens, pencils, warm clothing, empty bladder, etc.). I'll do my best to answer any questions you, or any other participants may have.

Roger, Just reviewing the Club Programs Page, and the previous emails for a start time for the Nova Program. It doesn't state a start time, or I have completely missed it. Also, the Nova program is not listing in the Events Calender. It looks like most events start at 7:30, is it safe to assume the same for the Nova Program? Thanks Again, and sorry for being a bother.

I have difficulty making it to meetings much earlier than 7:30, and I'll need time to set up, so it's an 8pm start. The expectation currently is that the classroom portion will take an hour, or so, and then we can go outside and actually see what we've just talked about, get a head start on the homework, or just open up the floor to ! It won't go too late, as I normally get up at 4:30am to get to work. I'm expecting that there will be some other members who will show up to offer expertise, but I can't guarantee that. I'll be sending out an email to all the participants about what to bring (pens, pencils, warm clothing, empty bladder, etc.). I'll do my best to answer any questions you, or any other participants may have.

If you missed our January meeting last Thursday, Roger Hill presented the NOVA Program (New Observers to Visual Astronomy) which starts on January 21. There are only 4 seats left, so book soon! The NOVA Program is a 8-part series of seminars designed for new and beginner level amateur astronomers. Even "experienced" astronomers who never learned "proper basics" will benefit. Space is limited so sign-up now by contacting Roger Hill. The program will take place at the RASC Hamilton Centre Observatory and combine classroom instruction as well as "time under the stars". This is a bona fide professional curriculum led by an experienced lecturer. Graduates will receive their Graduation Certificates at the banquet in June. This program is free for RASC Hamilton centre Members but there will be a $ 5.00 per class ($ 40 total) fee will cover classroom expenses. Not a RASC Hamilton Centre member yet? Now would be a good time because this program won't be offered again until Fall/Winter 2013 at the earliest.

I have difficulty making it to meetings much earlier than 7:30, and I'll need time to set up, so it's an 8pm start. The expectation currently is that the classroom portion will take an hour, or so, and then we can go outside and actually see what we've just talked about, get a head start on the homework, or just open up the floor to ! It won't go too late, as I normally get up at 4:30am to get to work. I'm expecting that there will be some other members who will show up to offer expertise, but I can't guarantee that. I'll be sending out an email to all the participants about what to bring (pens, pencils, warm clothing, empty bladder, etc.).

Hello. I might be interested in this as well. Can I get more details? Thanks Liz ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Bennett To: announce at hamiltonrasc.ca Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 10:42 PM Subject: [RASC Hamilton Special Announcement] NOVA Program Starts Jan. 21 -Only 4 More Seats Left! If you missed our January meeting last Thursday, Roger Hill presented the NOVA Program (New Observers to Visual Astronomy) which starts on January 21. There are only 4 seats left, so book soon! The NOVA Program is a 8-part series of seminars designed for new and beginner level amateur astronomers. Even "experienced" astronomers who never learned "proper basics" will benefit. Space is limited so sign-up now by contacting Roger Hill. The program will take place at the RASC Hamilton Centre Observatory and combine classroom instruction as well as "time under the stars". This is a bona fide professional curriculum led by an experienced lecturer. Graduates will receive their Graduation Certificates at the banquet in June. This program is free for RASC Hamilton centre Members but there will be a $ 5.00 per class ($ 40 total) fee will cover classroom expenses. Not a RASC Hamilton Centre member yet? Now would be a good time because this program won't be offered again until Fall/Winter 2013 at the earliest.

Will have a SkyWatcher 130 mm Newtonian and will be trying some imaging of Jupiter and the Pleiades if all goes well. ETA 8 PM.
