Throughout the course you will learn many aspects related to Observational Astronomy.But first let us first understand what basically Observational Astronomy is all about?Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wonder what those stars could be? If what you are looking at are surely stars or Perhaps maybe a Planet? Observational Astronomy is all about observing and keeping data of the celestial objects, it’s as simple as that!But what is different from Stargazing?Well Stargazing is looking up OR gazing at the night sky and admiring the beauty of celestial object. Say if you go for a weekend getaway for a stargazing session at outskirts of Mumbai for a day you observed stars, planets and constellation you can call yourself as a Stargazer.But Astronomers are those who study the Sky on regular basis. If you study as simple as the phases of Moon every day for a month and understand how the moon revolves around the earth you are already on the course of becoming an Observational Astronomer. What is more important here is keeping the data. You can simply note down at what time you saw moon at how many degrees. Note the phase of moon or click the photo of moon every day! After keeping such data you truly enter the field of Observational Astronomy.An Advance version of Observational Astronomer is one who can hunt deep sky objects, use heavy mounts and telescopes, perform Visible to IR Imaging and much more.Will there be Mathematical Calculations in this course?NO! There won’t be any complex mathematical Calculus in our course. This course purely focuses on Observations. Small sums like additions, subtractions and division will be discussed which anyone can do easily. More focus will be towards observation. Calculations are hardly 1% of the course materialEligibility?You don’t need to be from Science background at all! You can be from Any field; lawyer, doctor, Office Clerk, College Student are few of many examples who have earlier done this course.Min Age:18+ (Age 14 to 18 can Join with Parent’s Permission Letter)This course has use of Professional Telescope provided by us. Handling these scopes might get technical as well as heavy for Children below age 14, hence parent's permission is needed and is not allowed below Age 14. We have telescopes as big as 6 Feet in height Children need small ladder or stool to view from them.Topics covered in Course:Online Sessions 7PM to 9PM Every Sunday from August 20241. Introduction to Astronomy and various fields of Astronomy. Hobby, Scope, Career, Job and/or Making Active/Passive Income from Astronomy2. In-depth Solar System - Our Solar System is more than 8 planets and Sun. There are Trojans quasi satellite, Comets, Asteroids and much more to know3. Stars and Stellar evolution – How Stars are born, evolved and end their life4. Constellations and Zodiac Signs5. Eclipse, Lunar Phases and Nakshatra6. Sky Map and Coordinate System7. a. Astronomical Data collection related to Observational Astronomy | b. The Sky above8. Types of Telescopes, Mounts and Eyepieces9. Astrophotography Equipment and Setup10. Astronomy Terms, Astrophotography Softwares, Remote Astrophotography | Revision SessionTerms and ConditionsOnline Lectures:a. Online lectures will be recorded but it is mandatory for students to attend all sessions rather than relying on recordings. As some Questions will be solved properly online by direct discussions with experts.b. In the event of missing a lecture students may seek follow-up from the lecturer to catch up on the missed content.WhatsApp Group:a. Students will be added to a WhatsApp group for the skill course.b.

This course provides guidance from Astronomers and Professional Stargazers through both online and on-field sessions.b. The course fee does not cover expenses related to traveling accommodation and food during the on-field sessions.c. To ensure fairness for all students the course fee has been adjusted to exclude these expenses. Bills and expenses will be shared transparently to maintain a non-commercial approach.d. This change was implemented to prevent monetary loss for students who were unable to attend the on-field sessions due to personal issues or prior commitments.On-Field Sessions:a. The essence of "Observational Astronomy" lies in the experience of observing the night sky in an open ground setting.b. Food and Stay Charges for On-field Session to be Paid Separately Make this Course Free of Cost get all your Money back + Extra IncomeAfter Completion of course you have an option to interview and work with us as a Professional Stargazer who can conduct or volunteer for Stargazing Events of Horizon Astronomical Society. You will be paid for the event. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/online/skill-course-in-observational-astronomy-tickets/80003516221978 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 4499, max: 4999, currency: INR - **Ticket informations**: - ticket_1 — 4499.00 INR - ticket_2 — 4999.00 INR ## Event venue details - **city**: online - **state**: 0 - **country**: 0 - **location**: Online - **lat**: 0 - **long**: 0 - **full address**: Online ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Event Photo 1 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae9758e7764.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 2 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae9757c144a.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 3 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae9758ea61a.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 4 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae97580fb3f.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 5 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae9758ce112.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 6 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae9758e9811.png - **Alt text**: Event Photo 7 - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/live_large69ae97575dded.png ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Skill Course in Observational Astronomy being held? - **A:** Skill Course in Observational Astronomy takes place on Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Online. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Skill Course in Observational Astronomy? - **A:** Ticket prices for Skill Course in Observational Astronomy range from INR 4,499 to INR 4,999 depending on the ticket type. - **Q**: What is the refund policy for Skill Course in Observational Astronomy? - **A:** Tickets for Skill Course in Observational Astronomy are non-refundable.
