Thank you so much to everyone who showed up, and to the staff of ASC and the Ontario Convention Center for making this possible. I apologize about the antenna being broken, but I have a year to remedy that. WE'LL SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR! THANK YOU! 💙

And here are the pics I got thru my phone from the telescope! We observed the Moon and Saturn tonight =D
The waxing half Moon visible thru the Orion Newtonian telescope (it appears upside down as a result). The smaller craters are detailed especially near the Moon’s South Pole shown here at the top.Saturn is visible on the telescope as an overexposed object with visible rings emanating to the side. Titan is visible as the brighter yellow dot to the upper right. The moons Tethys (farther) and Dione (closer) are much fainter but barely visible next in conjunction to Saturn on the upper right.

On April 7, 2026, all humans suddenly, without explanation, became immortal. They stopped dying. They stopped aging. They stopped being able to conceive babies.

Steam machine? I believe that's called a "boiler".

I could not, in my wildest dreams, have prepared myself for the turnout. Thank you, each and every one of you, for coming by, looking at Saturn, and talking with us. And a HUGE thanks to @rocketsystem.bsky.social! This wouldn't have been possible without them! We hope to return next year!! #AFC25
A large group of people, with some in fursuit, in a parking lot, pointing to the sky, at Saturn, which appears as a tiny "star" near the top center of the image. Two telescopes sit among the crowd: a white refractor on a tripod on the left side of the image, and a black Dobsonian telescope to the right of it, slightly left of center in the image.

and here’s Saturn through Jay’s newtonian!
Compared to the previous image in the thread, the image is rotated 180 degrees (i.e. Titan on the bottom-left and Rhea to the top-right) and the zoom is more powerful, making Saturn appear larger here.
