THE MILKY WAY GALAXY - Imagine gazing up at a clear night sky, far from city lights, and seeing a luminous band stretching across the heavens. This breathtaking sight is the Milky Way galaxy, our cosmic home. With its swirling spiral arms and a core teeming with stars, the Milky Way is a vast and dynamic system, housing billions of stars, planets and mysteries waiting to be unraveled. From ancient myths to cutting edge astronomy, the story of the Milky Way is a journey through space and time, inviting us to explore the wonders of our galaxy......and beyond.
ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY - Donnie will guide you through the fascinating world of astrophotography using just your smartphone, whether you have an Android or iPhone. We'll explore how, with or without a modest telescope, you can capture stunning images of the moon and planets, transforming your smartphone into a powerful tool for celestial photography. You will be introduced to free software that can enhance your imaging experience, and we'll delve into essential techniques for capturing and editing your night sky photos. We will also share tips and tricks to help you make the most of the equipment you already have, proving that the phone in your pocket can open up a universe of photographic possibilities. In addition, weather permitting, Donnie will bring is telescope and share views of the stars, galaxies, or the moon - whichever is most prominent in the January night sky.
