Join us for Virtual Stargazing – ONLINE – January 28th at 7PM

CCAS amateur astronomers Kent Wallace and Brian P. Cox together with club president Aurora Lipper will take you on a tour of the night sky so you can star gaze right from home!

Brian will also provide live telescope views! (weather permitting)

They’ll also show you how to use Star Charts to help you navigate and find objects. You can download your sky map free here: Click here to download the current SkyChart (it’s free).

During our time together, you’ll be able to interact with the team, ask questions, and gain insight on objects to search for as you take your star gazing to the next level. It will be like watching a planetarium star show only from your computer screen!

Be sure to invite all your friends – we can accommodate thousands of people!

All you need to join this event is an internet connection. You can use an iPad, personal computer, or YouTube enabled TV.
