Actual Astronomy - Large Aperture Telescope Observing and Sketching with Howard Banich

<p>Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Today we are joined by Howard Banich. Howard has been observing the night sky since 1966 and soon began building telescopes when he was only 14! A long time member of the Rose City Astronomers and frequent attendee of many star parties and for those of us who subscribe to Sky & Telescope magazine we know Howard as a passionate writer, observer and sketcher. In our correspondence I’ve found that Howard is like many of us as he is always seeking out new targets and new ways of appreciating the night sky we all love.</p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
