The ARO - Astronomy Day Handouts

Hurray for science!

Here are PDF copies of the full colour handouts that have been provided to the OAOG from Astronomy Magazine or other sources for our Astronomy Day. Also below is my design of a planisphere (star-finder) to give out to the kids. Fingers crossed for clear skies!

Cheers,

Jim T.

"How To Buy Your First Telescope" , 9.4Mb	Insert that was in Astronomy Mag, authored by Celestron, discussing types of telescopes and how to choose.
"Welcome To Astronomy" , 8.5Mb	A pamphlet authored by Astronomy Magazine that is a general introduction to the hobby of astronomy.
"Your Guide To The Moon" , 8.5Mb	Another pamphlet authored by Astronomy Magazine that gives a tour of some of the main features on the Moon.
