OFNC MONTHLY MEETING 
ASTRONOMY FOR EVERYONE 
Speaker: Mary Grey 
Meet: Auditorium, National Museum of Natural 
Sciences, Metcalfe and McLeod Streets 
Mary Grey is Curator of the Astronomy Division of the 
National Museum of Science and Technology. She has 
an impressive background in stellar physics and lat¬ 
terly has been involved in the area of public educa¬ 
tion at the Museum. Her illustrated slide talk will 
provide an excellent introduction to the basics of 
sky watching without the aid of expensive optical 
equipment. Discover some of the more familiar con¬ 
stellations as well as certain nebulous objects 
through the marvels of astrophotography. There will 
be sky sheets for distribution and instructions on 
how to use them. 
*** Please note that this presentation, originally 
scheduled for December 9, 1986, had to be cancelled 
on that date due to poor weather and road conditions. 
Apologies are extended to those people who could not 
be reached on short notice and showed up unaware of 
the cancellation. The Excursions and Lectures Com¬ 
mittee regrets this very much.
