On 21 Feb, 2022 By hotair@computer...
Event Date: Monday, April 11, 2022 - 21:30 to 23:30 EDT Stellarium advanced course (ONLINE)
Monday 11 April 2022
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM Mountain time
Stellarium is a powerful planetarium application available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.
Participants will learn how to adjust sidereal time, view star alignments (Arc to Arcturus), filter for deep sky objects from additional catalogues, use custom landscapes create by others, and make a custom landscape using photos of ones environment. We will also explore the powerful planning features in Stellarium using the Astronomical Calculations window. This will provide an amateur astronomer a deep understanding of the Stellarium program and allow for customisation of the application.
FOR MEMBERS ONLY.
Class sizes are limited. A waiting list is maintained for when courses are full.

Wednesday 13 April 2022, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Mountain Time.
Stellarium is a powerful planetarium application available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.
Class participants will learn how to setup the software for a specific location, date, and time. They will learn how to view the simulated sky, zoom and pan, and search for and select celestial objects. Features such as gridlines, the meridian, sky settings, and red light mode will be explored. This will provide an amateur astronomer a basic overview of the Stellarium program.
FOR MEMBERS ONLY.
Class sizes are limited. A waiting list is maintained for when courses are full.
This training is not for the paid Stellarium app on smartphones or the Stellarium web app.

Bettina Forget's Bio:
Bettina is the Director of the SETI Institute’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program. In this capacity, she facilitates the collaboration between artists and SETI researchers, foregrounds art-science research practice, and creates opportunities to disseminate the resulting art projects to a wider audience.
She is currently a doctoral candidate in Art Education at Concordia University, Canada. Her research examines the recontextualization of art and science, and how transdisciplinary education may disrupt gender stereotypes.
Bettina’s creative work focuses on space sciences, inspired by her avid engagement with amateur astronomy. She has exhibited her artwork in the USA, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Russia, Singapore, and Nicaragua.
Born in Germany, Bettina has studied at Central St-Martins School of Art in London, England and at Curtin University in Perth, Australia and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore.
