The highlight of the Winter Sky is, for many people, the Orion constellation. But do you know about the Orion Nebula, lying just below Orion’s belt? With binoculars and a telescope we’ll get a closer view of this “star nursery”. What about the Pleiades? Can you easily locate this beautiful open star cluster high in the night sky? These objects, plus the beautifully-colored stars of the Winter Hexagon, will be the main subject of this Winter class. We’ll also have good looks at Saturn and Jupiter too! During the 6 weeks of the class there will be at least one visit to my home observatory in Woodacre, http://overthehillobservatory.net
FEE: $60 for 6 class sessions.
DAYS/TIME: 6 Thursday nights, Jan. 22—Feb. 26, 7-9 pm
