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.
