Binocular Astronomy

Spend an evening under the stars! Jim Hahn will guide us along the Milky Way from Sagittarius to Cassiopeia, stopping at star clusters, double stars, and other fascinating sights. Saturn will make an appearance, and we might even track down distant Neptune. Telescopes will be set up for closer views. This event is all outside. Bring binoculars, a reclining lawn chair or blanket, a jacket, and mosquito repellent.

Jim Hahn is a lifelong amateur astronomer who learned the constellations at eight years old and built a telescope at fifteen. When the sky is not dark and clear, he writes software, rides his bike, and sings in two choirs. Jim is an active member of the Northern Cross Science Foundation, a local astronomy club dedicated to public outreach, and stays current in astronomy by reading books, magazines, and websites on the topic.
