The Backyard Astronomer Coming to KSCCC

Gary Boyle, known as “The Backyard Astronomer”, will be speaking on astrophotography at our October 6th meeting.

For the past 58 years, Gary has had a passion for the night sky that started when he was eight years old. He is presently an astronomy educator, guest speaker, monthly columnist for the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada as well as a STEM educator. He has been interviewed on more than 55 Canadian radio stations as well as television across Canada and the U.S. His articles have appeared in numerous newspapers. In recognition of his public outreach in astronomy, the International Astronomical Union has honoured him with the naming of Asteroid (22406) Garyboyle.
