Session Title: Observational Astronomy Masterclass
Session Description: In this interactive session (using a Socratic method of inquiry), Robert will provide a toolkit of resources that will enhance your observational and astrophotography pursuits if you are experienced and if you're a beginner it will save you years of trial and error and thrust you at a level beyond most amateur astronomers. Get the most out of this event by attending in person (also since the total lunar eclipse will take place after the meeting if it's mostly clear). Prepare some questions since this won't be your typical one-way lecture!
