February 21 Observing Night is a GO!

The Hamilton RASC Observing night for tonight is a GO! The general public is welcome. Gates open at 7:30 pm. Please remember to dress warmly – you should always dress for temperatures at least 10 degrees cooler than the windchill.

Remember

 If you bring your own telescope, park on the north side of the parking lot (to your left as you drive in).

 The corollary is that if you don’t have a telescope, park on the south side unless there aren’t any spots. 

 Turn your headlights off as quickly as you can.

 Be aware of people and telescopes if you arrive after dark.
