Join McDonald Observatory in celebration of International Dark Sky Week, as they livestream some targets that can only be appreciated under dark skies.
Description
Join in for live views of several targets from the dark skies at McDonald Observatory! Your hosts Stephen Hummel and Saul Rivera will show you views from a camera attached to a research-grade 16" telescope at the Frank N. Bash Visitors Center. In celebration of International Dark Sky Week, they’ll be exploring some targets that can only be appreciated under dark skies, and exploring the impact of artificial light.
Moderators in the live chat will be taking questions, and the hosts will take more at the end. Can’t make the live stream? This event will be recorded and remain on McDonald Observatory’s YouTube channel.
