Event Details

In the Prescott area, we are privileged to be able to see many of the night time sky objects not available to big city dwellers. Learn how to take advantage of our dark skies at this presentation where members of the Prescott Astronomy Club will explain how to use star charts, mobile apps and other resources that tell you what is visible on a given night-- the moon, planets, double stars, and deep space objects (DSO's)--and how to find them.  Members will offer tips on observing the sky with your eyes, binoculars and telescopes. Afterwards, weather permitting, attendees are invited to go outside for a hands on experience with telescopes and binoculars.  Bring your curiosity and your questions.   This program is held in partnership with the Prescott Astronomy Club.
