Planetary & Deep-Sky Weekend

You are invited to attend our 5th annual weekend expedition, where our goal is to view many planets over the course of the weekend (weather permitting). Visible planets include: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, in addition to a very thin crescent moon. Students will see these spectacular worlds and lay out under the stars. They will also have the opportunity to observe deep-sky objects all night through Kopernik’s telescopes. Participants will perform digital astrophotography and sketching. Emphasis will be on basic observational skills including identifying stars and constellations, finding satellites, using telescopes, and astrophotography. All meals will be provided and each participant will receive a “Planetary & Deep Sky Expedition 2010” T-shirt.
