Event Date: Monday, January 30, 2023 - 20:00 to 22:00 EST Backyard EOS introductory course (ONLINE)
Monday 30 January 2023, 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Eastern Time (note the time zone!)
Backyard EOS is a popular camera control program that offers features beyond the Canon-provided EOS Utility software.
BYE allows a user to operate the camera by remote for vibration-free imaging. It offers excellent focus control for camera lenses and imaging through a telescope. Imaging plans can be built and executed to capture multiple light, dark, flat, bias, and dark-flat frames. BYE allows exposure times beyond the 30-second limitation of many camera bodies.
FOR MEMBERS ONLY.
Class sizes are limited. A waiting list is maintained for when courses are full.
This training is not for the Backyard Nkion product.

Event Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 - 19:00 to 21:00 EST Stellarium introductory course (ONLINE)
Wednesday 1 February 2023, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Eastern Time (note the time zone!)
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.

Dr. Guan will walk through how mapping the sky in millimeter has significantly advanced our knowledge of the universe, ranging from its early history and fundamental building blocks, to the magnetic field morphology of our galaxy.
Dr. Guan got his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh, having specialized in millimeter astronomy. He works at the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to make the most precise millimeter-wavelength map of our sky and to extract both cosmology and astrophysics data from this map. He joined the Dunlap Institute at UofT as a postdoc in 2021 to help build the next generation Simons Observatory.
