NWNC Dark Skies Project -Star Watching Party - Thursday July 18

NWNC Dark Skies Project
 

?

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that there is a Star-Watching event happening at the Narrows Lock, on the evening of Thursday, July 18, from 8:30-11:30 PM.

We would love for anyone interested to join us for an evening of fun under the stars. There will be telescopes set up and astrophotography going on all evening. This is a free event and is family-friendly, so all are welcome.

The NWNC Dark Skies Project is an initiative to have the regions of Narrows/Westport/Newboro/Chaffeys Lock recognized as an official Dark Sky community, an area of low-light pollution, perfect for star gazing and astronomy. We are hosting a series of astronomy events at the Narrows Locks this summer to help raise awareness of efforts to protect the night skies.

We hope to see you all there!

Good morning. I refurbish old scopes and would love one like that to play with.

Feel free to email/PM if you would be interested in giving it away, and thank you for consideration.

[Edited Message Follows]

Hello all,

As some of you are aware, Tom Bootland, the owner of the property in Stewartville (past Arnprior) which has graciously permitted us to use for dark sky observing, has recently passed away. It was for us a surprising and very sad news. Tom has given us access to his property for the past 20 years, and every year, he has maintained/mowed large grassy area for us to setup and enjoy the sky. In return for giving us, amateur astronomers, open access to observe from Spring to Fall, our presence has helped deter unwanted trespassers.

I have since been communicating with his wife Charlene. Charlene would like to continue to grant us access to the property, and her two sons will continue to mow the field on a regular basis. As always, the maps and instructions for access to the site are available in the groups files section. If you have trouble getting to them, please let me know and I can share them with you privately…

/g/oaog/files/Maps/Bootland%20Farm

Tonight, I will be heading out to Bootland Farm for some post moonset observing from about 12am to 4am. A few of you have mentioned interest during the RASC meeting and I thought I would the group know in case others are interested in joining us! I plan to do mostly meteor observing but I may bring my new’ish TV np101 and try out new eyepieces. And also take a few images. There is plenty of room for a good number of cars and setups at the field. If you would like to join us, do bring plenty of mosquito repellent as I expect the warm night will be very buggy. Bring also good boots or tall water resistant shoes as the field might not yet be mowed.

Clear skies!
Pierre
