RCA Astronomy Fair
Monday's meeting will be an exhibition of some of the best aspects of our club. It will primarily be an in-person meeting and will be open to the general public. Although most of the meeting will be in-person, the club news and monthly sky/space report will be streamed via Zoom for members who can't or prefer not to attend the meeting in-person. It will also be possible to participate in one of the sessions of short talks via Zoom. Please note that some details might change by meeting time.
In addition, if you have something astronomy-related that you would like to share with other members, such as a cool scope or a specialized piece of equipment that you'd like to demonstrate, please feel free to bring it in. There will be space in the Auditorium for member displays.
The fair will provide
- opportunities to learn about the range of activities within the club, see exhibits and demonstrations, and talk to club experts;
- a variety of short presentations from club members;
- a chance to reconnect with friends or make some new ones;
- member access to the book and telescope libraries;
- opportunities to learn about ways you can volunteer to support club activities;
- information about public and members-only star parties;
- a way to request star parties for outside groups;
- a chance to buy, sell, or exchange equipment in a swap meet;
- an opportunity to purchase new merchandise from the club at discounted prices;
- discounted prices on Astronomy and Sky & Telescope magazines for members;
- and, as usual, the monthly club news and sky/space report.
