SUMMARY:New Astronomy - NextGen Electronic Telescopes
DESCRIPTION:Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA) combines traditional optical telescopes with modern electronic sensors and imaging technology. This allows amateurs to visualize the night sky in ways rivaling professional observatories from a few decades ago. The instructors will cover examples of this emerging and relatively inexpensive field. The program is held rain or clear skies in the Roll-Top Observatory at Turner Farm Park. Ages 8-Adult. Cost: $8.00. Register at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks
