The Sunshine Coast Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) presents RASC National Secretary Charles Ennis at a meeting Dec. 8, 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt.
Ennis’s topics will be RASC Observing Programs: Explore the Universe, Explore the Moon, Messier Objects, Finest NGC Objects, Deep-Sky Challenge, Deep-Sky Gems, Solar Observing, and the Isobel Williamson Lunar Observing Program. These programs are all designed to assist the beginning astronomer to explore the sky and become familiar with the more common attractions of the night sky.
The Sunshine Coast RASC is now offering the Explore the Universe Observing Program to the public for free. Open to both the public and members, it can be accomplished using nothing more complicated than binoculars. On completion, participants earn a certificate and observer’s pin. Contact the Centre at [email protected], or check out the national RASC site for details www.rasc.ca/explore-universe.
Admission is free; donations gratefully accepted at the door. See www.coastastronomy.ca for more information.
