SUMMARY:Southeast Community College Course - Exploring the Fall and Winter Skies
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Fall and Winter Skies – A Backstage Tour of Branched Oak Observatory \nA Southeast Community College Continuing Education Course at Branched Oak Observatory \nJoin Professor Sibbernsen\, Co-Founder of Branched Oak Observatory\, for an indoor program exploring the constellations and celestial objects hidden within the Fall Skies and Winter Skies. Afterward\, head up to the telescope facilities for a behind-the-scenes look at how the equipment operates and then find the objects mentioned in the program (weather permitting). \nVolunteers (besides Michael).

SUMMARY:RAIN DATE Southeast Community College Oct 22nd Course
DESCRIPTION:Please keep this date open in case the SCC Oct 22nd and/or Oct 29th Classes need to be moved. \nInside the Celestial Sphere Part Two \nExplore the methods astronomers use to communicate the locations of objects in the night sky. We will delve into the “Horizon Coordinate System” and the “Equatorial Coordinate System”  and how they relate to standard Terrestrial coordinates. You will learn about Azimuth\, Altitude\, Hours of Right Ascension\, Declination\, and the various important points and paths upon on the celestial sphere. Discover how to calculate “Meridional Altitude” for any celestial object in the sky including the Sun\, calculate stellar Declination Ranges for any latitude on Earth\, and better understand the apparent motions of the Sun throughout the year. \nThis two-night class is for serious enthusiasts who know of\, but are not comfortable with the coordinate systems that astronomers use\, current astronomers who have used astronomical coordinates in the past\, but need a no-nonsense\, refresher course\, and science educators who would like to better communicate the positions of objects in the night sky with their students or the general public.  You will leave class with a better understanding of the celestial sphere\, and will never look at the night sky the same ever again.
