RASC National Society: The Insider's Guide to the Galaxy - RASC Observing Programs (ONLINE)
Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard!
We'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary. Sessions are always on Tuesdays at 3:30pm ET, but frequency of sessions changes.

RASC Observing Programs - Chris Vaughan with Guest Blake Nancarrow
• Working on an observing program is a great way to learn the sky and develop your observing skills. The RASC has eight observing programs designed for beginners and more experienced stargazers - and they'll give you a certificate for completing each one! Viewing from the driveway? No problem! The moon and double stars programs don't require dark skies. No telescope? For some of the programs, you won't need one. For this first session of 2022, Blake Nancarrow, Chair of the RASC Observing Committee, will join us to describe the different RASC Observing Programs, and how to log and submit your observations to receive a certificate. And we'll share our own experiences completing the programs and tips on how you can, too!
