Hello everyone,
I just created a website to introduce an opportunity where I share the wonders of the night sky with others. It is a secondary website LINK for Eadsy Astronomy. It is where I do one of the following three options.
1. Introductory Tour: An observing session where I introduce the night sky, the constellations of the season and how to identify them, the 3 types of telescopes and then 2 hours of observing as I find objects and you get to observe them. This is for individuals, small groups or mix groups of up to 12 people. You meet me at one of my local dark sites and we spend an enjoyable evening learning about 4 types of telescopes, the night sky for the date we go and the types of objects we are going to see. I then spend the next couple of hours showing you the night sky through eyepieces and through images on a digital telescope. Images are made available in a couple of days for you to download. $75.00 a person.
2. Stargazing Workshop: An observing session where I do all in #1 . Additionally this is a workshop where I teach you how to use a dobsonian telescope, a refractor and how to image using a SeeStar S50. This is an hour on each scope, 15 minutes training on how to use the scope and 45 minutes of observing. The goal here is to help you to determine which type of telescope is right for you and what type of observing or imaging you wish to pursue. Cost $150.00 per person.
3. Under the Utah Canopy: An Observer's Journey. A Guided tour to a dark site location in Utah. This may be for an evening, overnight, two days or up to four days. It can be local to the greater Salt Lake Area (within 2 hours of Salt Lake) or to one of my dark site locations in Utah. This will need to be arranged ahead of time and will need to have a phone or zoom conversation with me before I can get you a price on this.
In addition I am completing an online Introductory Course to Observing the Night Sky and Imaging with it. By participaing in any of the these opportunities you get premium membership here at Paetron for a year and access to that online Introductory course.
Now IF you are an experienced observer this doesn't change my invitation as always, to join me in my personal observing outings here in Utah. You'll find if you do that, even for those starting out, I still give far more help than the inital offerings up above. These offerings above are to help get people interested in the hobby and a way to find out if the hobby is for them. Since I am using my time and my equipment to do that, I am charging for those services.
