RASC National Society: The Insider's Guide to the Galaxy - Variable Stars (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.

Variable Stars - Chris Vaughan
• Stars vary in brightness due to a number of different astrophysical processes. We'll cover the main types, share some examples to monitor in the summertime - with unaided eyes, binoculars, and any size of telescope, and cover how to make light curves and comparison charts. In Messier Minutes, we'll focus on the southerly summer Messier objects in Scorpius and Sagittarius.
