This event is free and open to the public.
The Winter season brings some of the brightest stars in view. And with those stars, some bright deep sky objects. The season brings a chance to observe M42, M44, and M45, as well as the Winter Milky Way through Cassiopeia. However, the same old objects every year may get a little boring. Is there anything else to see beyond the Double Cluster? There is - if you know where to look.
January’s fundamentals meeting will feature a tour of objects that are off the beaten path and may refresh your observing list for the season. To find out what awaits your observing join us as NAA member Rick Gering shares his knowledge of observing.
Now, you can join us for a live presentation of targets and picks from Rick during our January Fundamentals. Our Fundamentals Program will be held on January 21st at 7:30 pm, at our new location in Room 254, at Grace United Methodist Church.
