Things I Thought I’d Never See

Bob King fell in love with the night sky when he was a kid, and he loves to share his passion with people of all ages through teaching and public observing. His long-time association with the AAVSO has seen him observe the most remote and exotic places in the universe—including “visits” to quasars, blazars and supernovae. In this webinar, Bob will demonstrate techniques for coaxing out faint transients near the limit of vision or shrouded in extragalactic haze. He’ll also discuss the importance of using up-to-date charts, photographs and websites to assist in the quest to see the ends of the cosmos.

Bob is a community educator and writes for Sky & Telescope’s magazine and website. He also pens the long-time blog Astro Bob he started in 2008, and has been an AAVSO member since 1982.
