About this event
This session is designed for ATMoB members and member family and friends who are just getting into backyard astronomy or those who have been away from the hobby and need brushing up. We'll begin indoors with a brief orientation, and then head outside to learn to identify the major stars and constellations of the summer sky. We’ll continue with binocular and telescope views of currently visible solar system and deep-sky showpieces. Participants are encouraged to bring a clipboard and red filtered flashlight, as well as binoculars, if possible. Telescopes are optional. Subsequent seasonal surveys are planned for the fall, winter, and spring skies.
