Bluewater Astronomical Society
Local astronomers promote astronomy in our area by participating extensively in public outreach events as well as educating school-aged children at the Outdoor Education Centre near Wiarton. Brett and Frank have pioneered what they call electronically assisted astronomy. That is, they use modern technology to take photos of the night sky, and they combine these images in real time to show people what deep sky objects like galaxies look like in great detail, beyond what you would get by simply looking through an eyepiece on a telescope.
