Join us for VIRTUAL Stargazing – ONLINE – November 21st, at 7pm

CCAS Astronomer Kent Wallace and President Aurora Lipper will be taking you on a tour of the night sky so you can star gaze right from home!

We’ll concentrate on objects you can see with binoculars or small telescope.

We’ll also show you how to use Star Charts to help you navigate and find objects. You can download your sky map free here: Click here to download the current SkyChart (it’s free).

During our time together, you’ll be able to interact with Kent, ask questions, and gain insight on the next objects to search for to take your star gazing to the next level. It will be like watching a planetarium star show only from your computer screen!

Feel free to invite all your friends – we can accommodate thousands of people for our free online star gazing session, so invite everyone to join us! This should be a lot of fun! I am really looking forward to it!

All you need is an internet connection. You can use an iPad, personal computer, or YouTube enabled TV. When 7PM on Saturday night rolls around, click the link below to join our class.
