The Astronomical Society of the Hunter have arranged a public astronomy night on Friday the 4th Feb at 7:30 pm with supper and viewing to follow. Any of you are more than welcome to attend and it's 'kid friendly'.

They are a truly progressive club with lots of friendly amateurs only too willing to join in and assist newcomers or advanced amateurs.

The society have their own observatory set up on the grounds at KURRI KURRI N.S.W. and the skies are DARK! I've been invited to give a Powerpoint presentation on astronomy and conduct a sky tour afterwards, and we'll probably run a DVD received direct from NASA titled 'Ring World' - all about the Cassini mission.

If you're new to astronomy turn up - we're doing this for you to help you learn. If you're in the advanced league also turn up and join in, you'll be made welcome. Should be a geat night of viewing.

Sounds like it will be good fun. I shall ask the man if he will be willing to take me

I think I need some time under the stars to relax me before it gets too busy at work!

Are we allowed to bring our own telescopes to take advantage of the dark skies there?

Hi silvinator

I don't see why you can't bring your scope. Why not give him a ring? (it's not my gig).
I've been invited along. I'm putting together a special slide show on Mars and the Cassini Mission.

All the best.

well, looks like I underestimated our workload as here I am on a Saturday morning doing overtime at work...and by friday the 4th, there will be overtime every night until the end of march...the things I do for this place!

It would have been good to have met you in person Dave. Good luck with your presentation anyway and I hope anyone that goes has a great time.
