Hosted on alternating months at H.M.S. Beagle, these workshops help to instruct beginning telescope users in the art of star-hopping, or how to find faint night-sky objects by moving to them from bright ones, as exemplified in the book Turn Left at Orion. Within a few short hours, you will have learned how to use the signposts in the sky to help you to find some of the more elusive and amazing sights in the heavens.

Join the Beagle's own Leif Bahl for a course in finding faint deep-sky objects, in a presentation entitled "Night of the Globulars". Learn to find fascinating deep-sky objects using simple techniques and then practice what you've learned. This is an invaluable course for the beginner or intermediate amateur astronomer.
Bring your telescope and prepare to be amazed!
