Stellarium intermediate course

Event Date: 
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 - 19:00 to 21:00 EST

Stellarium intermediate course (ONLINE)

Tuesday 24 January 2023

7:00 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern time (note the time zone!)

Stellarium is a powerful planetarium application available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.

Participants will learn how to load additional catalogues, customise the application including setting up specific locations, load new comets, modify the toolbar, choose landscape textures, use stepping zooming, copy object information, configure eyepiece and camera views, and slew a telescope mount to a target. This will provide an amateur astronomer a deeper understanding of the Stellarium program.

FOR MEMBERS ONLY.

Class sizes are limited. A waiting list is maintained for when courses are full.

Star Party

Explore the Night Sky - Members ONLY

Event Date: 
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 - 20:45 to 22:15 EST

Explore the Night Sky

RASC National Office

Tuesday, November 24th, 2023 @ 8:45 pm ET (weather permitting)

Join us via Zoom for the January 2023 Explore the Night Sky event on the RASC Robotic Telescope, an exclusive RASC Member event! 

We will start by giving a virtual "tour" of the telescope and the observatory and show you how we program a telescope run. Once it gets dark enough, we will take some exposures of deep-sky objects (which you help choose!) and end the session by watching the scope take the first few shots of the night's run! Everyone who registers will receive all the data we take on the telescope throughout the night via Google Drive (if the run works out!). If you have already joined a previous Explore the Night Sky event and are just interested in touring the night sky, we will start taking images at astronomical twilight (9:15 pm ET), so feel free to join the Zoom meeting then.

Registration and an active RASC Membership are required for this event! To learn more and register, visit bit.ly/explorethenightskyjan2023 or email telescope@rasc.ca
