Sunridge Observatory - Medicine Hat Astronomy Club

The home of the
Medicine Hat Astronomy Club

The Sunridge Observatory is a non-profit organization. We operate as any non-profit organization through donations and grants. We are open to visitors and groups to provide education and access to equipment for the study of astronomy and education. Please watch this site for further news and information. We run monthly open houses for the general public as well as groups. We have a library of astronomy and science books and videos to be signed out. As a member, you can sign out telescopes or use the 18" telescope for your viewing. A great place for the whole family.

Our observatory is located at GPS corridinates:
N 49^° 55^' 00^"
W 110^° 52^' 13^"

The winter viewing has started. Longer nights which means move viewing for those that are interested. Presently, Jupiter is visible in the early evening. Later in 2012, Saturn will be visible in the night sky.

The Medicine Hat Astronomy Club is sad to say goodbye to our current President, Thor Jacobson. He will be moving away from Medicine Hat to enjoy more of his retirement with family. He will be greatly missed as he was a very active and prominent member and supporter of the club. His role in the club will be very hard to replace.

Effective immediatly, all club contact will be through Robin Laing at 403.977.1744 (prefer evenings).
