We will kick off our group event of earning Lunar Observing Program Awards. The Moon and How to Observe It will be presented by Rocky Togni. Don’t waste half your month waiting for dark skies. The moon is a fascinating place to observe and the more you know the more interesting.
In addition Karl Schultz will give a short talk on sketching which is a valuable tool for really “seeing” objects.
