January Upcoming Event – Looking Up! Ask the Astronomer (1/23/21)

Hi all,

It’s time for another virtual stargazing event with the BAA and our friends from Penn Dixie, the Explore & More Children’s museum, and the Williamsville Space Lab Planetarium, held on January 23rd and starting at 8PM. As you may have seen in the previous post, this event will have a special focus on questions submitted by you! Hopefully you’ve already submitted any astronomy-related question you have, but if not, head over to our submission page at https://www.buffaloastronomy.com/ask-the-astronomer/ and query away. We will also be doing a presentation geared towards people who have gotten telescope equipment over the holidays and who may have some basic questions on how to get started. If either of these topics sounds interesting, please join us this Saturday night at 8. The stream will be live on our Facebook, which you can find here. See you then!

January 2021 Online General Meeting

Hi all,

This Friday, January 8th, at 7PM will be our general meeting, and our first of 2021! The invitation went out today, so please check your BAA email to get the details. If you didn’t get it, please reach out to club president Mike Humphrey.

This month we’re holding a virtual presentation from Mark Percy, director of the Williamsville Planetarium, to take the place of the club’s traditional, in-person visit. Mark will be speaking on “Big Astronomy” as it relates to Chile’s giant telescopes — more info can be found in today’s email. If this sounds interesting to you, be sure to join in.

If you need them, instructions on joining a Zoom meeting can be found at this link: https://www.buffaloastronomy.com/may-2020-online-general-meeting/ See you on Friday!
