Remote Telescope Viewing
We are excited to announce that the Astronomy Club is hosting a virtual star party with Tom Carrico on Monday, May 17 starting at 8:00. Tom Carrico teaches astrophotography and heads the local astronomy club, Heart of the Valley Astronomers. We’re super lucky that he is willing to stargaze with us using his remotely operated telescope in New Mexico! Make sure to bring a list of astronomical objects that you want to see.
