SAS February 11th Meeting
Stockton Astronomical Society presents:
Winter/Spring Skies Workshop
One of the primary aids to deep sky observing is familiarity with the major constellations. That is what our seasonal skies workshops are all about-helping you to learn your way around the night sky. The stars are like old friends, once you can recognize their patterns.
With its long crystal-clear nights, winter is a most rewarding time to get out under the stars. Winter evenings bring us the brilliant stars of the "Winter Six" constellations, providing familiar guideposts to many of the evening's deep sky objects.
Spring is the season of the Lion and the Virgin. The workshop will be a refresher on the stars, constellations and deep-sky objects in the evening skies of the approaching season of growth and regeneration.
...Marshal Merriam, Program Director
