The Hamilton Centre will be running the New Observers to Visual Astronomy (NOVA) course again, starting two weeks tonight, on February 3rd, at the Observatory.  Despite the name, it's not ALL about visual observing.  The course is an excellent guide to many concepts in astronomy and gaining an appreciation of what can see in the sky.

The course consists of 8 sessions, approximately every other week, and we ran it for the first time last year.

The course was very successful, but there was some criticism, for which I'd like to thank those who took the time to comment.  This means that the course will be a little different from last time.

First of all, each evening will start with an observing session run by Mark Pickett at 7:30.  The classroom portion will start at 8pm, and go for about 90 minutes, depending on the amount of discussion that happens.

The second change is the purchase of the Beginners Observers Guide.  This great book normally costs $19.95, plus shipping, for members.  Since we charge $5 a session (for heat and hand-outs), we'll be charging $20 for the first one, and this will include your own copy of the B.O.G...in effect giving you a $5 discound on the book.

Space is limited, and we had to turn people away last year.

Please let me know if you intend to take the course so we can reserve you a seat.

If you have any questions about the content, the structure, the location or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me.

 
Thanks,

Roger Hill
