Time: Saturday, March 8, 7 p.m.
Location: Avonport, 475 Bluff Road
Speaker: Keith Walker
Topic: Building Baie Ste. Marie Observatory
Though largely about the design and construction of his observatory, this presentation will also serve to introduce Keith to the group. He has had a lifelong interest in astronomy and will show the fruits of his labour, with several astrophotographs taken at the observatory.
Keith have been interested in astronomy since literally before he can remember. For most of his life, he has been a keen armchair astronomer. It is only in the last four years that he have actually begun practising on a regular basis. His dream for years was to be able to take photographs of deep space objects, and is now enjoying fulfilling that dream.
The Baie Ste. Marie Observatory is in St.Bernard, Nova Scotia. Keith has a website showing his observatory and it function. See www.dulcemelos.ca
