Hands-on Astronomy Classes

Are you curious about the night sky? Do you want to learn how to use a telescope and gain confidence in finding planets, stars and constellations? Join me for night time stargazing and learn about our night sky and how to use a telescope. We meet under the stars at a designated outdoor location TBD. This class is for 8 year olds and up and yes, adults, you are included! The class is limited to 12. You are welcome to form a group and reserve the class for you.

Hands-on Astronomy is offered Saturdays, starting February 28th from 7-8:30 pm

We will get to know our telescopes and equipment and then continue the class with a tour of the night sky, view major celestial objects and learn how to use a star chart (planisphere) and our Dobsonian telescopes. You will be given a planisphere to take home, cut out and keep. This is sure to be a confidence building experience for anyone interested in learning about how to get to know the night sky and use a telescope.
