SUNSET: 
Upcoming Astronomy Events
As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope‘s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.
Mid-Kent Astronomical Society - Tom Field - Spectroscopy
March 29 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm GMT
$1 – $3
Tom will demystify the science of spectroscopy and explain the art of spectral imaging. Tom says “ To capture the spectra, there is no steep learning curve. There’s no complicated software processing. There’s no need for a lot of math or to have a Ph.D. in astrophysics. And there’s no need for expensive equipment or dark skies. All it takes is an inexpensive 1.25" grating, and a small telescope (or DSLR). With a few clicks, you get exciting scientific results. And from those results, you can gain a rich understanding of the life cycle of stars.”
Join Tom in the meeting to learn more.
