Intro to Milky Way Astrophotography In this workshop, we will focus specifically on Milky Way photography using a dslr (or mirrorless) camera. Using equipment provided by Chabot, we will walk you through different techniques of capturing the night sky outside on our observation deck and work with specific software to process a finished photo. Mothers Day Tea & Flower Workshop Make Mother’s Day unforgettable with a perfect mix of creativity, nature, and cherished family moments! In this hands-on program, participants learn about their composition, classification, and observation. They create sublimating dry ice comets, complete with frozen gases, dust, and geysers. K-5 campers design imaginary asteroid-mining machines, while older participants collect and graph comet data and explore mining careers. [Google Places type: museum]
