Hello Everyone

 

Hello, everyone,

?

My name is Aaron Cominio, and I¡¯m excited to be joining BBAA. Astronomy has always fascinated me, and recently, my 9 year old son has developed a strong interest as well. While I¡¯m very much an amateur, I¡¯m eager to learn more and grow in this hobby. My family and I enjoy using our Celestron 9.25 SCT, and we¡¯ve had some great experiences exploring the night sky together.

?

I¡¯m grateful to have an astronomy club nearby and look forward to meeting and learning from all of you!

Hello Aaron. There is an observation you can make right now easily. No navigation required. Just find the brightest object in the western sky at sunset. The planet Venus is now undergoing a transition from a gibbous (slightly lopsided ball) to a large crescent in April. This is easy to see and track from almost anywhere. It will get larger in diameter constantly until April when it becomes a thin slice. Good opportunity to do a long repeated seires observation that is interesting and easy to do.
