The first meeting of the Peterborough Astronomical Association (PAA) season takes place online via Zoom on Friday, September 3 starting at 6 p.m., and community members are invited to tune in. The format includes beginner’s astronomy lessons, a main presentation, and a question-and-answer period.
This month’s beginner astronomy course is on the topic of “Binoculars”.
“We’re going to take the mystery out of the numbers you see on them and tell you what types and sizes are best for astronomy, as well as the mounts and their proper use. From tune-up to filters and cleaning, you can learn everything in this session, ”said Rick Stankiewicz, advertising director for PAA.
The Beginner Astronomy Course starts at 6 p.m. and lasts approximately 45 minutes before the main meeting. These courses focus on the practical aspects of learning astronomy and present topics related to astronomy at a very basic level in a logical sequence.
The main presentation, which will begin shortly after 7 p.m., “Galaxies of the Northern Hemisphere,” by AAP President David Mills, will examine galaxies that can be seen in amateur telescopes with mirrors of 8 to 12 inches in diameter.
“He will make seven objects and discuss the scientific importance of each. He will also give details on the background, ”Stankiewicz said. “We guarantee you will see and learn things you never knew before. ”
The Sky This Month, a regular meeting feature, will be posted on the club’s website for everyone to access. To view, visit peterboroughastronomy.com.

There is no charge and the meeting is open to all ages and anyone interested in seeing what the AAP is all about. The AAP can also be followed on Twitter (@PtbAstronomical) and Facebook (@Peterborough Astronomical Association).
