Learn about different types of telescopes and resources for solar and night sky viewing. Bring your telescope and receive help with minor repairs, set-up and use. Presented by the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers.
The event features four short presentations by HAA members:

2:30 - Introduction to Telescopes by Matthew Mannering
3:30 - Introduction to the Night Sky by John Gauvreau
4:00 - The Moon and Planets This Winter by Kevin Salwach
In between the presentations, members of the HAA will have their equipment set up and will be happy to answer any questions you might have about telescopes and stargazing in general and to help with any issues you might be having with your telescope, binoculars, or other astronomy gear.
There will also be a Moon-themed kids' colouring station.
