Description:
Make the stars your old friends as we watch the great celestial show in the skies. Following a short orientation, you'll enjoy quality time outside under the heavens getting to know the constellations like The Big Bear, Bootes the Farmer Hunter, Leo the Lion, and some of their great stories behind them. We'll also use large telescopes, among the largest mobile telescopes in Minnesota and Wisconsin, for close up views of star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and other wonders in the early spring skies.
Weather permitting we'll also use an astronomical camera telescope system for extraordinary views of or more distant universe.
You will also get a large handout package with user-friendly star maps and constellation charts, apps, websites, a telescope buying guide and more!
Please dress for the weather and bring a comfy lawn chair.
Classes are rarely cancelled. Even if it is cloudy, you'll learn a lot and have a great time!
Registration fee $30 per person or $45 per family. Please enter the correct amount. For families please put other family members in the notes section.
