This workshop will focus on how to optimize your use of SkySafari Plus (v7) during an observing session.   We will cover:

  • Basic capabilities and menus
  • Settings:  how to customize them for your needs
  • How to update the database with the latest comet and asteroid locations 
  • Using the Time feature - including shortcuts to use it efficiently
  • How to display the field of view for your specific scope & eyepieces
  • How to create a personal observing list and record your observations

If you have never used SkySafari, but would like to understand its capabilities before purchasing, this workshop is also for you.  

Open to anyone 9 years and older.    We need at least 8 registrants in order to hold the workshop.
