Join us this Friday, June 14th for our June members meeting!

The guest speaker for this meeting will be Benjamin Law. In his presentation, Benjamin will share his journey in astrophotography, his learning experiences and his stories, in hopes of igniting the interest of others to dip their toes into this amazing astrophotography experience.

Intrigued by several celestial events in the early 80s, Benjamin began to find deep interest in space since he was a kid in Hong Kong.  He joined various astronomy clubs, learned more about the beautiful sky, and enjoyed showing the night sky to people.  One year his father took him to a camp and that moonless starry night totally changed his view about the night sky.  Benjamin immigrated to Canada in the early 90s, and pursued his interest in astrophysics academically at University.
