The August Star Party
August 5 – August 8, 2021
This star party is a North Bay Astronomy Club event and will be held at the Bob Land Campground (Chapman Observatory/Observing field) near South River Ontario. Camp, set up your telescope, once, and not have to worry about it until Sunday.
We do a group photo at 4 PM & we do hope to have a communal campfire each evening for everyone to enjoy. Firewood donations are appreciated.
Star parties are a great way to make new friends, talk astronomy, and enjoy the comradery of others.
We have a room reserved at the Algonquin Motel (which is nearby) for Friday & Saturday for everyone to shower, etc. There is no hydro but water is available and we have a Port-a-potty onsite for the weekend.
Our cost for this event is $300.00 and this will be divided by the number of adults who attend. If possible, we would appreciate it if you could let us know if you plan on joining us.
For more details or directions, contact Bob or Lil Chapman at bobandlil14@gmail.com or call 705-386-7087 or Bill Montague astronomer123@cogeco.ca.
