See the Rings of Saturn… Friday 21 October at 8:00 pm Family Stargazing Evening

by | Aug 25, 2016

Our Stargazing Evening on the school oval will be fabulous.  Dean Davison  (Skywatch) will be conducting the evening along with members of the astronmical society.  Saturn, Venus and Mars will all be visible in the West. And yes, if it is a clear night, we should get a good view of the Rings of Saturn through the telescopes.  Sunset will be around 7.35pm.
There will be a cost of $5 per person for this 90 minute experience. Please pay your money at the school office or on QKR! (after Tuesday 30 August).  Tickets will be distributed from the school office.
It would be great if people would like to bring their own telescopes and binoculars, and you will be shown how to use them properly if you are unsure.
Here is the Star Chart for September;  they are published in the Saturday Advertiser each month.
Here is a guide to using a Star Chart.
