Afternoon session for Becoming an Outdoors Woman 2013-11-09

9 November, 2013 (17:06) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

We did participate in Charlie Elliott’s program “Georgia Becoming an Outdoors Woman”. 43 Ladies did book for the 3 day event and made selections for participation out of 30 different session. We were very happy that 6 of them signed up for Beginner Astronomy and all of them could learn what we do through the CEA display made by Steve Siedentop. Theo Ramakers and Frank Garner did a 3.5 hour session with the ladies and they learned how to setup an equatorial mount and why we use them, they tried to look at the sun through an Ha scope, but the clouds had something else in mind. In the class room they enjoyed three very interactive presentations: Magnificent sky scapes, Observing the Moon and Imaging the unusual.
