Jerry Spevak (Charting Your Way Through The Heavens), is an experienced deep sky observer and astronomy writer whose articles have appeared in Astronomy magazine. Astronomical charts play a key role in helping us find our way around the night sky. Understanding what types of charts are available, what information they contain, how they were derived and how to use them both for planning an observing session and in the field, can greatly enhance your observing experience. Jerry will share with us his in-depth knowledge on this subject as we prepare for an observing session.
