New Astronomy Club in Moncton

18/7/2016

Astronomy Moncton is an informal group of amateur astronomers and enthusiasts, active in the region around Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The club was started, in June 2016, by local RASC members seeking to organize observation sessions and public outreach activities in the area.

We seek to:

show the wonders of the cosmos to the public,
mentor students and beginners getting started in astronomy, and,
organize observing sessions at dark sky sites.

We are in the process of planning regular public meetings and observation sessions. Stay tuned for new events!

I want to congratulate you all on the birth of a new astronomy club in New Brunswick: Astronomy-Astronomie Moncton! Very appropriate to have your first event as an observing session at Moncton High School. I wish you success and prosperity in bringing the joy of astronomy to the people young and not so young. Enjoy discovering the joy of the universe.

Allo,
Je me demande si vous allez offrir un lieu sécuritaire pour observer l'éclipse du soleil le 21 août.
Hi
I am wondering if you will assist people in viewing the upcoming solar eclipse. Will you be at a site in perticular? I am very interested in astronomy, and being an elementary teacher, I would love to have some hands on experience looking at the sky guided by experts such as you.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi.

My kids gave me a new telescope for Christmas. ( I’m still struggling with setting it up). I have always been interested in astronomy but know very little about. I thought it would be great to join the Moncton Club. What do I need to do to join.

I look forward to hearing from you.
