# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Smart Telescope Extravaganza
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 23 May, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 25 May, 2025 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A free weekend focused on smart telescopes that have revolutionized our hobby over the past few years. With price tags as low as $350, the new generation of telescopes makes it shockingly easy to capture quality deep sky images that seem to magically fight through light pollution. For the weekend:
Free primitive camping on Arunah Hill all weekend, though membership renewals highly encouraged! $30

Friday night "hands on" use of SeeSTAR S50's, a SeeSTAR S30, an eQuinox 2, and possibly other Smart Telescopes that will make it up to the hill. 

On Saturday afternoon up in the pavilion Ed Faits will do a 90-minute post-processing images beginner's class using PixInsight basics.  I'll stack and process an image taken on Friday night if the weather cooperates. If not, I'll have some images from past sessions ready to demo.

Bob Donohue will present a talk "Cool Challenges for Smart Scopes". Bob has used his smart telescopes to capture planetary nebula hiding in M15, dwarf planets Haumea and Pluto, quasars in far corners of the universe, moons of Uranus and maybe even a hint of the M87 jet.

Bill Lee will present solar h-α photography and processing.

A Rocket Challenge Saturday afternoon.

If there is any demand, we can set up a cash burger stand on Saturday dinnertime.
