Public Observing Coming Events
During the COVID-19 pandemic, OAFs stopped doing public “sidewalk astronomy” events. We miss it, and hope we’re in a position to be able to safely resume, maybe in the spring or summer of 2024.
Update: We’re doing our first Sidewalk Astronomy event in several years on May 18, 2024, to celebrate International Astronomy Day. See us in front of Kanata Chapters (Indigo).
News: the Ottawa chapter of RASC has resumed its star parties at the Diefenbunker. Check their Star Party list to stay informed (or updates via Twitter, Meetup, or Facebook). Check the RASC web site or Facebook page for the latest information on COVID protocols.
OAFs are strong supporters of RASC and their events, and most of us will be at the RASC star parties with scopes.
Watch our twitter feed (see right margin) for the latest.
