 Ted Williams Astronomy Educator |
Presenter at the Hayden
Planetarium (American Museum of Natural History), Ted's experience hosting telescope star parties promises us some special astronomical observing sessions. Activities and presentations in our lodge in the afternoon and alternate flat screen sky presentations in our lodge by night if rain obscures the view. |
Amateur Astronomer Matthew Edwards, wildlife guide, amateur astronomer states "Skies so dark that the Milky Way appears three dimensional." Astronomy Educator Ted Williams found "So many stars in a telescope view that dark nebula are stunningly obvious as they stand out in silhouette. Andromeda appears large enough that it can barely be contained in a binocular view!"
