Aurora will be joined by Astronomer Brian P Cox for a live session in how to use binoculars for astronomy!
Many people don't even realize that hey have an amazing object right at their fingertips - the Moon! If you participated in Dr Coombs Moon Tour Presentation, you already noticed the spectacular views you can get using a small telescope or a set of binoculars.
The Moon is a fantastic object to practice on, because it's easy to find but there's enough detail that once you get started, you'll find yourself reaching for a Moon Map to try to spot and identify the different features.
Even if you don't own any binoculars, we'll guide you through how to pick a good pair for stargazing.
My personal favorites:
For Kids: Cometron by Celestron
For Adults: Orion UltraViews
This special class is scheduled during our Summer Astronomy Week: June 28 - July 2. More details coming soon!
