Description

We are the Ottawa Valley Astronomy and Observers Group -- Observateurs astronomes d'Ottawa-Gatineau (OAOG) : a very casual group of amateur astronomers who do sidewalk astronomy, star parties and enjoys getting together at various sites around Ottawa, Ontario. Observers of all levels are welcome. The OAOG is the original informal group that was founded in Ottawa, Ontario in 1994 by local astronomers Rock Mallin and Don Fougere.

This list is to discuss astronomy and its related activities, observing and equipment.

What's this astronomy group all about? Find out.
