Welcome to the Sudbury Astronomy Club Website!

We are a local club that gets together regularly for monthly astronomy talks (at our regular meetings), enjoy regular star parties (at our observatory and local schools), and other local astronomy related events.

This website is to reach out to new people who may be interested in joining us in our events, and also to our current members to find information on upcoming events.

Feel free to contact us at any time for more information.

Below is a list of upcoming events.

An Evening with The Giants

Posted on November 25, 2011 by admin

On Wednesday November 30th at 7:00 pm there will be a Star Party held at the Chalet at the Laurentian Conservation Area hosted by Paul-Emile Legault. The group of guest observers in attendance will be the Laurentian Astronomy Student Class and the Nickel District Conservation Area Members. Paul-Emile will also be doing a presentation at this function as well.

There are estimates that there could be upwards of 100 guests (above) attending this Star Party so we require as many scopes as possible to make it a success.

If the weather prevents observing on Wednesday November 30th then the Star Party will be deferred to the following evening Thursday December 1st at 7:00 pm.
