Backyard Astronomy

Winston Stauffer, VP of Education, Seattle Astronomical Society
Backyard Astronomy is a beginner-friendly introduction to observing the night sky from home. The talk covers navigating the stars, choosing and using a telescope or binoculars, and locating planets, star clusters, and other celestial objects — with practical tips for getting good results despite the light pollution of a large metro area like Seattle. Whether you're new to stargazing or looking to get more out of equipment you already own, this talk offers approachable guidance for making backyard astronomy work in an urban setting. This event is open to the public; guests are welcome to attend along with Mensa of Western Washington members.
There will be time for socializing after the presentation. Free Parking. Open to all.
