SPECIAL EVENT: MERCURY TRANSIT.
The NBAC will be down at the waterfront with our telescopes and filters to
view the Mercury Transit. We will be at the Waterfront from
7:15am til 1:15pm Monday November 11, 2019.
A transit of Mercury across the Sun takes place when the planet Mercury passes directly (transits) between the Sun and a superior planet, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Mercury appears as a tiny black dot moving across the disk of the Sun.

Celebrate the life of Lynn Chetwynd who recently passed away. When she retired from Cambrian College, where she was a Professor of Social Services, she and her partner, Mario Plante, moved to Powassan for dark skies.
Lynn was always willing to assist ‘new to the hobby’ people and was an avid list follower. She had observed & logged the 110 Messier List, the 110 Finest NGC List, the Herschel 400 and the Chapman 100 List. Lynn and Mario enjoyed numerous Total Solar Eclipse tours to China, Australia, Indonesia, etc.
She will be missed……She was our friend,
