On Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June, members of the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (
WSAAG) will take their telescopes out of the observatory grounds and into the streets of
Katoomba. High powered telescopes will be set up in Carrington Place complete with solar filters so that the sun may be viewed safely.
WSAAG will stay with the festival crowds throughout the day pointing out solar flares and sunspots on the sun. In the evening, the lens will be changed on the telescopes to view the moon, visible planets, nebulas and star clusters.
