Are you more interested in what you can see with your own naked eye rather than taking a photo? No problem! Becoming an amateur astronomer is as simple as looking up, but it doesn’t hurt to know where to look. The following are included in this 2-hour course:
Take a tour of the night sky and learn the following: the celestial markers exist to help you find your cardinal (compass) directions, the path of the sun, moon, and planets across the sky, as well as your favorite constellations, and more
Review two common types of telescopes (refracting and reflecting) and how to setup/operate them for visual use
The location for this course requires a space with an open, unobstructed view of the sky (especially north) and will be determined after signing up.
Refund policy: Scheduling for astronomy field courses can be tricky due to a variety of factors (e.g. - work schedules, weather, moon phase). For that reason, there are no refunds for cancellations, however your course purchase does not expire. You can reschedule your course with me for use on a mutually-beneficial future date.
