Safe Solar Viewing

Kids especially love Solar Viewing with our speciaslly made Solar Glasses. Look at the smiles!

The Mid North Coast Astronomy group specializes in safe solar viewing. We conduct regular viewing sessions at local markets, field days, at exhibitions and conventions and at private homes. We have expensive equipment, many years of experience and detailed knowledge that will amaze you with safe viewing of Solar Flares, Sun Spots and Solar Prominences. WE supply everyone with the new technology marvel, Solar Glasses that allow detailed viewing of our Sun without risk. These glasses can be used for solar eclipses as well and you can even take a phone pic through one of the lenses if you like!   

This is a NEW program being introduced in our region this year. We come to you with large solar telescopes and solar projection equipment and show you the Sun close-up. This is new technology and 100% safe. In over twenty years not one incident! The whole session usually last 1-2 hours but can be tailored to suit your requirements.

Astronomy/Telescope Lessons

Need a scope assembled? Bring it along. Need some guidance using it? Bring it along. Need to buy one? Ask us.

Have you been thinking a bout buying a telescope and don't know which one to chose? Maybe you have one tucked away and don't know how to use it?  Let's be honest. Telescopes are confusing and we're here to help! There are so many types and they don't often come with good instructions. If there are instructions, it's hard to work out what they actually mean! It's difficult to try and figure it out by yourself and it's even harder finding someone who can help! I know! I've been there. I was a beginner once too and it was really difficult to figure out and use my first telescope.

If you are thinking about buying your first telescope,this is a great way to learn more and figure out the type that will suit you. Or if your telescope is hiding away at the back of the cupboard or under the bed, let's get it out, dust it off and finally discover how to use it. I know - it's probably been there for a while. You may have got it out a couple of times and been able to find the Moon, but everything else remains a mystery! This personal night of instruction will help you discover how to get the most out of your telescope in a fun and friendly environment!

Dozens of amazing facts and figures about space will be revealed with time for questions afterward. You'll marvel at close-up images of incredible planets, moons, stars, galaxies and black holes. We'll examine the latest images of the surface of Mars and you'll even get to hold a real meteorite! It's a relaxed and entertaining audio visual look at the universe for the whole family. David is a very experienced astronomy and space presenter well known for his enthusiastic and colourful presentations. You'll even get to hold a real meteorite...and much more!

KIDSPSACE - A program For Schools

Welcome to our unique 'ASTRONOMY OUTREACH' program for primary/high schools. Designed as an interactive visual astronomy/space show, it makes learning fun. This program is unique! Fully focussed on the student educating them in an interactive way about the many wonders of the night sky and focus on our closest star- the Sun. Throughout each 20-30 minute talk, David will be using the latest, most up to date visual material available from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope. We focus mainly on the solar system as well as touching on how the universe came to be and describe what stars are where they're made of. We use hi-power and colorful PowerPoint presentation slides.

Afterwards we go outside and let the kids view the Sun with safe solar glasses (a REAL buzz) and also do 'Solar Projection'- showing the Sun's full disc with amazing black sunspots projected onto a screen below the telescope. We can also view solar flares shooting out from the Sun. Cost: $3 per child to cover our time, fuel and set-up expenses. Minimum number: 100 children (No maximum) Schools can combine classes or join with other schools to make up numbers if required. NB/ We can modify our presentation to include any extra subject material requested.

GIANT TELESCOPE RAFFLE

This amazing telescope is a favourite choice among amateur and serious astronomers because of its simplicity and incredible ability to gather light. As many sky observers know, the more light a tube can gather, the deeper into the sky you can see and the brighter and clearer the images. The saxon 8″ Dobsonian Telescope (8 inch) is a great example of an uncomplicated tool that collects vast amounts of light, making astronomy for anyone an extremely enjoyable experience!
