Hi all,
I've been involved for some time with a weekly online astronomy 'star party' held by Fraser Cain from Universe Today, using the 'hangout' feature of Google+. It seems that they have had a lot of interest for a second weekly show to be held at times more suitable for those of us on the other side of the world from America (and also those with views of southern skies), and they have asked that word be passed around to see if anyone is keen to join in and help. You don't need to have spectacularly high-end equipment (in fact I think they prefer a variety!) - just a telescope and a way to stream an image from it live to the internet.
Following is a copy of the message sent out by Scott Lewis - one of the other producers of the 'Virtual Star Parties':
If you are interested in helping out, Scott can be contacted either on Google+ (+Scott Lewis), or by emailing him at scott@knowthecosmos.com
Regards,
Teale
