Star Parties
From CosmoQuest
Revision as of 18:07, 19 July 2012 by Cosmoquest (Talk | contribs)
We have built (and continue to expand) a network of astronomers (amateur and professional!) who have telescopes they can share online. When the weather is willing and the telescopes are available, we will hold global star parties that bring you the skies of dawn, dusk, and everything in between (including the Sun).
Star Parties are held Sunday Nights and when there are Special Events
- Time: no earlier than 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern / 3am + 1d GMT / 2pm +1d Sydney
- Location: CosmoQuest Hangouts, hosted on Google+ by Fraser Cain
To become a part of our telescope network, contact Fraser Cain: info at universetoday dot com.
