Advanced Stargazing
- an intermediate course-

TBD

Picking up where Stargazing for Everyone left off, this course serves as a next-step in exploring backyard astronomy. Advanced Stargazing provides information on various objects and events in the night sky for those who have already become familiar with various celestial sights and want toexplore the hobby more deeply. Course begins with a guide to naked eye astronomical phenomena like auroras, meteor showers and artificial satellites. For binocular and telescope users who want to move beyond elementary stargazing to more challenging projects, learn to locate beautiful comets, dazzling double stars and mysterious variable stars. Discover how to hunt down deep sky objects like star clusters, nebulas and galaxies. Ultimately, examine the basic techniques in getting started in photographing the night sky.

Weather permitting, outdoor "telescope tours" through various regions of the sky will follow classes. Join Montreal Gazette astronomy columnist Andrew Fazekas for a multimedia course packed with information and lucid explanations on the hidden wonders of the universe.

 


This multiple evening beginner's course is designed to highlight upcoming
celestial events and help participants locate and understand constellations and their hidden cosmic treasures. Classes will be followed by an outdoor viewing session (weather permitting).

No experience or equipment required !
