No need to wait until evening.... With the advent of computer controlled "goto" mounts, our ability to visually and digitally observe the moon, planets and brighter Stars during the daytime has been greatly simplified. In this hands-on daytime observing workshop, Marc will describe what you can see, what equipment is needed, how to sync your telescope to the sky, and provide you with practical observing tips. The workshop will be followed by a daytime observing session.
