Please join us this month as we pick up some tips on how to best view the upcoming Mars 2022 opposition in December. Beginners and experienced astronomy lovers alike are welcome!

Stephanie Pahl Anderson of Cloud Break Optics returns to help provide some best practices and expectation setting to view and possibly image the beauitful Red Planet through the telescope. Questions are welcomed and encouraged.

If the weather cooperates, we will use a 14-inch schmidt cassegrain telescope to get a glimpse of the Red Planet in the UW Physics courtyard outside of our meeting. (Dress warm!)
