Astronomy at the E.C. Carr Observatory

Did you know the RASC E.C. Carr Astronomical Observatory is the located right beside our Beaver Valley Bruce Trail? Would you like to join the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail and Royal Astronomical Society of Canada volunteers for a fun, informative fundraising event on Friday September 22, cloud/rain date September 23?

We need 25 participants in order to book the program so here’s what to know to peak your interest. The evening, which starts at 7:30 p.m. will begin with a brief introduction of the history and activities of the observatory, information about what we hope to view in the night sky and a lesson on how the various telescopes work. Then it’s time for some star gazing as we circulate among the different telescopes. The first time you see the sky through one of those big telescopes it’s an amazing experience.

This is a fundraiser for the E.C. Carr Observatory, a local part of RASC, a national, non-profit, charitable organization devoted to the advancement of astronomy and related sciences. Our club has supported E.C. Carr a number of times in past years and participants never fail to be awed by the viewing experience. There will be a non-refundable fee (unless the event needs to be cancelled by RASC) of $15.00 per person. 

Please reserve your spot by Beavervalleytrailactivities@gmail.com by August 1, 2023

Once we have received sufficient numbers, you will be sent the details of the event, including payment information.
Please feel free to ask any questions in your email.
