 Instruction on a different astronomy-related activity or topic each month! 

Due to the audience-driven nature of post-presentation Q&A, some discussions are quite extensive, carrying the session length beyond the expected hour. Join us in these Zoom webinars to learn from  guest expert instructors, ask questions, and meet others with the same interest!

Any cost? No, they are free to encourage your astronomy education!

When: the first Saturday of each month in 2022, starting at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
