Activities
The Kingston Centre is involved with a variety of observing activities:
- We collaborate with the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy in its monthly Public Open House (also known as KAON—Kingston Astronomy Outreach Network). An evening talk kicks things off and then, weather permitting, there is hands-on observing with telescopes on the rooftop observing deck.
- From time to time we also organize observing sessions at various locations for our members.
- We co-host the Fall'n'Stars star party with the RASC Belleville Centre each September on a weekend near a new moon, at a dark sky site.
- We encourage observing at the local Lennox and Addington Dark Sky Viewing Area, approx 60 minutes from Kingston.
- We encourage observing at the local North Frontenac Dark Sky Preserve, approx 95 minutes north of Kingston.
Watch our events list for information on upcoming sessions.
Programmes
The RASC offers a number of observing programmes/lists that observers can work on according to their current skill level.
